Despite securing $1 million in new grants, they’re scrambling for revenue via pool licenses, food truck fees, and animal control contracts. The director reminds us: true public health wins are measured by what doesn’t happen—disease stopped, outbreaks contained. With the city council still reviewing budgets amid a broader deficit, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
