From the CSAC press release  – "SACRAMENTO – Many California counties will be unable to continue providing state and federally required services for California residents as the budget stalemate continues and the state ultimately runs out of cash."

Nevada County senior executives are giving up pay increases to help the county weather the current financial storm.  County Executive Officer Rick Haffey informs the Board of Supervisors, "I have been approached by the appointed department heads representing 19 positions who have volunteered to forgo their 3% raise July 1 as a contribution to maintaining the County’s fiscal health. I have accepted their offer and accepted your Clerk of the Board’s offer as well. This group has approached the Elected Officials and thus far the Auditor – Controller, Clerk-Recorder, District Attorney, Sheriff, and Treasurer–Tax Collector have agreed. We will be bringing the necessary resolutions to you to make this change. I would like to thank all for making this contribution for the County’s well being."
