Santa Clara County leaders condemned Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget revision for adding hundreds of millions in losses to public hospitals and weakening mobile mental health crisis response funding.

A revised state budget reduces Berkeley Unified’s projected deficit, enabling a balancing plan with an $843,000 cushion through staffing cuts, new transportation fees, and central-office reductions.

State bills seek workplace AI protections, while mobile crisis services face funding changes that could reduce or end county-provided teams.
