He reported that Santa Ana faces a possible loss of an additional $2,000,000 in State monies, should the Legislature eliminate the vehicle and cigarette tax subventions. The Manager distributed a publication prepared by the City of Orange which noted the current budget crisis for cities is caused in part by the fact that the State is taking monies from local government, in order to balance its own budget.
