Contra Costa PD, DA Face Cuts to Fill Budget Shortfall

Hefty layoffs are likely for Contra Costa County's probation department, as well as its district attorney's and public defender's offices. Supervisor Gayle Uilkema said Thursday that she and her counterparts on the Board of Supervisors will meet today to figure out some way to overcome an estimated $50 million shortfall. As many as 27 full-time positions could be eliminated from the probation department and about 17 from the PD's office, she said. She didn't provide numbers for the DA's office.
