The short explanation of this alert was:

Tell Washoe County to keep Title X, America's family planning program for the lowest income citizens.

The Washoe County Board of Health has made the difficult decision to cut its family planning program 50% starting July 1, 2008, with a goal of only providing $75,000 in three years (down from $980,000 this year!). During the budget hearings Commissioners Bonnie Weber and David Humke have indicated an interest in revoking Washoe County's acceptance of the federal Title X funding, expecting local health organizations to take over these grants. While it sounds simple, this is not an easy transfer and affects several health care services and sexuality education programs.
