Assembly Member Tony Thurmond advised me that the FY 2016-17 State of California budget passed yesterday by the legislature includes the following allocations for Public Safety in Richmond:

· $300,000 for Office of Neighborhood safety · $382,000 for Project Safe Neighborhood Grants · $2,000,000 for Richmond Police Department · $60,000 for Contra Costa County Family Justice Center in Richmond · $55,900 for RYSE Restorative Pathways Project

It is presumed that Governor Brown will sign it.

Good job, Tony!
