Santa Clara County has released an $11.2 billion budget proposal that wrestles with a $120 million deficit and a potential economic downturn by turning to one of its costliest annual expenses: the county’s employees.The final budget recommendation, a more than 600-page document, is the last for outgoing county executive Jeff Smith, who took on the role in the 2009-10 fiscal year when the budget was $4.3 billion and county employees totaled 14,000. Now there are 22,205.To bridge the massive financial gap, Smith and county counsel James Williams — the incoming county executive — have recommended cutting nearly 20% of the county’s vacant positions, a total of more than 650 jobs, and other ongoing cost reductions.“This will put us on better footing for the coming fiscal years, even if the road ahead will still be challenging,” Williams wrote in his budget message.The proposal has alarmed some county workers, especially those working in health care, as...Pacifica woman sentenced to one year in jail for abusing children at daycare center

Rain chances will be highest inland and to our west. Otherwise it will be another warm day with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
