COMMENTARY: Budget battle between cities and counties The county effort has city officials in a dither, and the supposed allies are fighting each other over the 2004-05 budget as they try to put together a joint campaign for the ballot measure. County government lobbyists are floating an alternative that would reduce the hit to $800 million, make it temporary rather than permanent, and take it evenly from counties, cities, special districts and redevelopment agencies. County officials have long-standing structural and financial ties to the state, having traditionally operated state-financed health and welfare programs. www.vvdailypress.com /2004/108005049321657.html
