The Sacramento City Council meeting of Tuesday, July 20 was a losing night for the youth of Sacramento. Politics and process trumped the needs of Sacramento youth. The city is currently dismantling the Office of Youth Development; funds for school attendance centers are being cut, and other vital services have disappeared.

Failure by the City Council to place this measure on the November ballot last week means a delay in addressing this problem.
