Solano County Board of Supervisors leaves funding intact for La Clinica De La Raza

I previously wrote about how the health care and immigration debate has hit Vallejo. Specifically the Solano County Grand jury had recommended that funding by the Solano County Board of Supervisors to La Clinica De La Raza be limited to only those residents of the county who could prove legal residence or citizenship. (See also my previous post on Update on proposal to limit funding to La Clinic De La Raza.) On October 6, 2009, the Board submitted their response to the Grand Jury's report. I am happy to write that the Board has chosen not to follow the Grand Jury's recomendation and will leave all funding to the clinic intact. I commend the Board for making this decision. The health of all residents of Solano County should be a priority for all of us.
