county juvenile facilities.
* $25 million for the purchase of equipment and for

had been to get $150 million for county juvenile facilities such
as juvenile halls. A compromise resulted in only being able to
obtain $50 million for county juvenile facilities. However, this
is better than nothing and holds about the only hope that Contra
Costa County will be able to obtain some funds in the near future
to undertake needed capital improvements at the existing juvenile
hall or begin to fund replacement of juvenile hall. For these
reasons we would concur with Mr. Buck that the Board of
Supervisors should support Proposition 147.
