Santa Clara County wraps up ‘depressing’ budget cycle in anticipation of Trump cuts

SANTA CLARA COUNTY SUPERVISORS took their first step toward adopting a $14 billion budget that weighs the region’s critical services against federal funding losses under President Donald Trump.

After weeks of workshops and hearings, supervisors tried to close their budget talks on a high note. But their unanimous vote Thursday — with the final one expected June 17 — comes as Congress advances budget proposals that could cost the county up to $70 million.
