""If we don't get those state dollars, we are in deep, deep trouble," Canepa said."
"San Mateo County officials have publicly stated they believe the state owes them more than $100 million in back payments."
"Without that money, officials predict some schools and agencies could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars."
""It'll affect public safety, most important. It's going to affect mental health. It's going to affect just how we deliver services," Canepa said."
San Mateo County is in financial distress, primarily due to a $20 million refund owed to Genentech and a dispute over Vehicle License Fee revenue with the state. The county claims it is owed over $100 million in back payments from the state, stemming from changes made in 2011. A lawsuit has been filed to recover these funds, but the state disputes the claim. The funding gap threatens public safety, mental health services, and support for local nonprofits.
