SACRAMENTO Courts in Alameda, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties would be among those hardest hit by a historic plan, unveiled Friday, to redistribute funding among California’s 58 trial courts.
The long-awaited numbers show, as expected, that the proposed funding formula generally would help the bottom lines of courts in the fast-growing Inland Empire and Central Valley places like San Bernardino and Stanislaus. Urban and coastal counties, with the exception of Los Angeles, would suffer the most. L.A. Superior Court would see a slight increase in funding under the plan.
