EFFORT TO RESTORE DISABILITY FUNDS

Bakersfield Assemblyman Rudy Salas is trying to restore funding for three disability service centers.The centers include the Independent Living Center of Kern County. Gov. Brown removed the funding for this year, so Salas introduced a bill Wednesday to restore the $705 thousand they need. Brown may still veto the bill if it passes. Last year, Salas was able to get the budget item restored after being cut, but not this time.
