San Luis Obispo County grapples with a $1 million budget deficit, despite projecting a baseline surplus of $13.6 million for FY 2026-2027.

Supervisors express concerns about funding distribution and public safety amid recruiting challenges. Federal changes may increase expenses, but a $25.9 million Medi-Cal reimbursement could bolster reserves. Budget hearings and adoption are scheduled for early and mid-June.
