SALINAS LIBRARY SYSTEM TO CLOSE vs

THE COMPLETE LIBRARY SYSTEM IN SALINAS WILL BE CLOSING DOWN. THAT WAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT NO ONE WANTED TO HEAR AT THE SALINAS CITY COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT. THE RECENT DEFEAT OF MEASURES A AND B, ARE BEING BLAMED FOR THE FINAL DECISION. IF THE MEASURES HAD PASSED IT IS ESTIMATED THEY WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IN 10 MILLION DOLLARS. THAT MONEY WAS DESPERATELY NEEDED TO KEEP THE 3 BRANCH CITY LIBRARY SYSTEM IN OPERATION. OFFICIALS MUST KEEP THE LIBRARIES CLOSED, UNTIL THE CITY CAN RAISE $7 MILLION.
