or instead of one main library and two branches, eliminate the branches and focus on the main library

use volunteers

search for book donations, university libraries, publishers

appeal to foundations

fund drives

and if Salinas is going to slash $8 mil, why the entire $3 library funding?

and get this:

City officials are at a loss to explain why the tax measures failed to win a majority vote, especially the utility tax hike, which would have affected only the 61 biggest businesses in Salinas and was put on the ballot by the business community.

"The utility tax losing was just stupid," said Dennis Donohue, president of European Vegetable Specialities and co-creator of the measure. "The businesses basically said that the city has a problem and we'd like to throw in some money. And more than 10,000 voters told us 'no.' "


that's strange
