Contra Costa County Census 2020 Phase II Grant Funding Available Martinez, CA - Contra Costa County announces its second phase of Census 2020 outreach grants through a Request for Proposals (RFP).

[levinletlive]

It's over 100°F today and we're 9 unions strong turning up the heat on the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.

We are the 4th wealthiest county in California, yet we are one of the worst compensated county workforces in the state! We can't hold onto new hires because we're so understaffed and overworked that they get overwhelmed and leave within a couple of weeks. Our workers go to Solano and San Francisco County to get better pay for the same work.

If you're on public assistance of any kind in California, but especially in Contra Costa County, this is about you too. Our clients' cases get discontinued and benefits get delayed through no fault of their own because we literally don't have enough people to stay in compliance. Tour food stamps could be late this month or next month. Your medi-cal could take weeks to get approved while you sit in the hospital. Even the Public Defenders are understaffed and underpaid, so if you're facing incarceration your representation is at risk. Rent, gas, child care, and medical costs are skyrocketing. Most of us are a paycheck or two from losing our homes.

We have confronted the BoS about this, and their response, verbatim, was "it's not a priority." Not "we can't afford it", not "we can't do it". Fairly staffing and compensating the workforce is not a priority. Therefore, our clients and communities are also not a priority.

Our contracts are up in 9 days. If you are in Contra Costa County or the surrounding area, or even if you just want to give the BoS a piece of your mind, you can contact them here and give them a piece of your mind.

Editorial: Re-elect Glover and Burgis as Contra Costa supervisors

Editorial: Re-elect Glover and Burgis as Contra Costa supervisors

Two Contra Costa County supervisors, Federal Glover and Diane Burgis, are seeking new terms in the March 3 election.  Voters should re-elect them.

While neither is ideal, both are far superior to their respective opponents. It’s not a close call.

Few East Bay public agencies have seen as dramatic, and well-managed, a fiscal rebound from the Great Recession as Contra Costa’s county government. A…
