Get Involved this Thursday Come and Tell Supervisor David Couch to use ~$2 billion County fund for the fiscal year 2014-15 wisely not to touch or close our Frazier Park Library to cut the "dead wood" within the Kern County Administration to reduce the budget of the obscure offices (such as County Counsel where most of the numerous attorneys earn more than $250,000)

In September of 2013, Kern County governments and When supervisors discovered the multi-million deficit special districts had to repay Occidential Petroleum $31 from Kern Medical Center, the Board of Supervisors had million in tax money that the oil company was asked all departments in February of 2014 to submit overcharged based in part on the value of its holdings in budgets that cut five percent from their current revenue. the Monterey Shale. Kern County’s share of the However, in June 2014 it become clear that at least eight repayment was $11.3 million. county departments have asked for $31.9 million more The county-owned Kern Medical Center (KMC) is one of than the County Administrative Office has allocated the biggest fiscal liability at this point in time. Most of them in the recommended spending plan for fiscal year Kern Medical Center’s worsening annual budget was 2014-2015, which begins July 1. The Kern Medical revealed at the end of 2013: years of obvious Center and the Kern County Sheriff's Office -- have miscalculation and financial mismanagement created an asked for $25.3 million of that total. estimated $64 million hole in the hospital’s finances. The The departments had to submit their new budget result was that KMC has racked up a debt to the county’s proposals by June 17, 2014 and the final vote by the general fund that hovers around $100 million. Board of Supervisors on the 2014-15 budget is expected Subsequently the Hospital's CEO, Paul Hensler (received in August. an annual salary of $458,596 in 2013) was fired after the county supervisors became fully aware of the losses late in 2013. The company of the new CEO, Russell Judd, is tasked with eliminating that loan burden, operating KMC at a profit and / or rebuilding the hospital’s billing, physician pay and operations systems. At the same time the visually not really inviting facility needs to attract a better mix of patients — fewer poor and uninsured patients and more paying customers. For the year 2013 - 2014, the Kern County Treasurer-Tax Collector mailed out property tax bills totaling over 942 million dollars. Of those bills mailed, the top 10 taxpayers (Chevron, Aera Energy, Occidental of Elk Hills, Oxy USA, Berry Petroleum, Plains Exploration & Prod, Pacific Gas & Electric, Seneca Resources, Vintage Production Cal, US Borax) comprised 32.80% of the total taxes due to the County. The assessed value of the 2013-14 tax roll was $84.6 billion, the combined net assessed value of the top ten taxpayers was $27.8 billion. However, Kern County's two largest industries, oils and gas production as well as agriculture face significant challenges in 2014. Oil and gas production has driven much of the County's job and income growth. The industry is now confronted with environmental questions as it seeks to tap the 12 billion barrels of oil beneath the ground. Agriculture is today a $6 billion+ industry in Kern County. The food production’s main challenge is water, or the lack thereof due to the multi-year extreme drought. Aside from looking for emergency water transfers to the places in need and aside from demanding the removal of environmental restrictions, the County needs to find long-term local solutions to the ongoing water crisis.

According to a physician with Doctors without Borders: "This has now become the largest epidemic we have ever faced, in terms of its duration and the numbers of cases."
Ebola is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals. In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest. Ebola then extends through human-to-human transmission resulting from direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people. After death, the Ebola virus remains present in the body of the deceased and any contact with that body can result in an infection. Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness. Ebola also spreads indirectly through contact with environments contaminated with such fluids. The highly contagious Ebola virus causes fever, vomiting, bleeding and diarrhea. Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. No specific treatment or vaccine is available for people or animals. Lack of knowledge amongst the population about Ebola, the high mobility of people in this area of the world, and
