STOCKTON MOVING TOWARDS THE BIG TIME

By Bob Walsh


 
The population of Stockton is about 325,000.  This is not quite half the population of San Joaquin County.  The city budget approved for next fiscal year is not quite $1 billion, $956 million to be precise.  The vote was 6-0 with one absent.  For a city that was actually bankrupt 12 years ago that isn't too horrible.

They even approved the hire of two more animal control officers and are expanding it's motor patrol and bicycle divisions.

The city is also budgeting for 27 "large scale" homeless camp cleanups in the next fiscal year, about one every two weeks.
