No Accountability, No Budget! <br />Dear Santa Ana City Council -- <br />I am writing today to ask that you fully fund police oversight in the upcoming budget. Oversight is long <br />overdue and must be prioritized. Santa Ana residents have called for independent oversight of the <br />Santa Ana Police Department for nearly six decades, with the Orange County Congress of Racial <br />Equality launching the effort in 1965; we need the City of Santa Ana to finally establish effective <br />police oversight this year! <br />It's also important that at least 50% of the budget for police oversight come from cost -savings <br />measures from the Santa Ana Police Department. This is only fair, considering the huge <br />percentage of the budget that traditionally goes to so-called "public protection". <br />Thank you for considering my message -- <br />Felicity Figueroa <br />
