WASHINGTON, D.C (Press Release)—Senator Barbara Boxer (Democrat-San Diego) is alerting California constituents that the U.S. Senate recently passed the Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Bill, “which includes several of my priority projects for California.”
Boxer, a member of the Jewish community, stated that “as part of the bill, I requested funding for the San Diego DA Gang and Drug Crime Investigation and Prosecution. I am pleased to let you know that funding in the amount of $200,000 was included in the Senate version of this bill. Funds will be used to support San Diego County’s District Attorney to investigate and prosecute gang-related and drug crimes.”
This bill still has several steps before becoming law, but inclusion of the San Diego DA Gang and Drug Crime Investigation and Prosecution is a crucial step for funding.
“I am pleased that this project was included and that the Senate passed this bill which will help make Californians safer,” Boxer said. ” It includes crucial investments to fight drugs, combat gang violence and support our first responders. You can count on me to work for its final passage.”
Boxer and Dumanis, coincidentally, are both members of our Jewish community.
