Good morning, Stockton.
Budget decisions made in Washington can quickly show up in county clinics and community programs. Local leaders say one federal proposal could have wide ripple effects here at home.
San Joaquin County officials are warning that a federal bill backed by President Donald Trump could reduce funding for local health care and social services by as much as $76 million each year. Andrea Baltodano reports the cuts could affect programs that support hospital care and other safety net services many residents rely on.
Elsewhere, Stockton police say a man who accidentally shot himself Monday morning was later arrested. Reno Police Chief Kathryn Nance, a former Stockton deputy police chief, has been placed on administrative leave while her department investigates possible policy violations. And a driver has pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter in a 2024 crash near San Joaquin Delta College.
