City of Sacramento intensifies budget talks on gaping $39 million deficit

The city of Sacramento is facing a $39 million deficit in its general fund for the 2011-12 fiscal year that begins July 1.



It's the fifth straight year of cuts to the general fund, which pays for most city services, including police, fire and parks.

City officials say this year's budget is the worst they've faced. The cuts proposed amount to 10 percent of the city's discretionary spending.
