Further request the legislators to attend a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors either in Martinez or Sacramento in the next two weeks to develop a mutually acceptable stragegy. Background: The Governor's budget message projects an estimated $150 million shortfall in realignment revenues for the current fiscal year due to the downturn in the economy. In order to cope with this difficulty there must be increased flexibility and relief from state mandates. We need the support of our legislators to deal with the State Budget difficulties.
