California sheriff warns after budget release
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco warns that over 600 deputies may need to be fired due to a significant funding shortfall after the county rejected his request for an additional $150 million. Despite a budget increase of approximately $25 million, Bianco says the shortfall remains around $125 million, equivalent to 622 deputy positions. He plans to eliminate about 200 positions through attrition but intends to continue paying the remaining deputies, even if it pushes the department over its approved budget. County officials defended the budget decision, citing financial constraints and the need to balance priorities.
