Impact analysis
Mostly state and federal grant money; the drug control grant requires a 20% county match already in the budget.
Kids going through dependency and juvenile court, crime victims getting restitution, and county court operations.
County taxpayers and local agencies could face funding shortfalls if state support lapses.
