Nevada County Urges Congress to Keep Money Flowing to County Amid Federal Budget Cuts

Exposed Thread

The County’s budget totals $388 million, with 45.8%—or $167 million—sourced from federal and state intergovernmental funds. This revenue supports 908 full-time equivalent positions delivering essential services, but recent federal actions threaten this pipeline, prompting urgent advocacy by the Board. Nevada County’s complete reliance on federal funding for these services amplifies the stakes. Discretionary revenues offer little buffer against cuts to the $167 million in federal and state aid while losing tax-exempt municipal bonds could cripple infrastructure funding tied to salaries.

Heidi Hall’s Congressional Woke Wipeout: Romp of Constitutional Kicks, DUI Boogies, Taxpayer Treasure, and Progressive Puffery

Grab your hemp-infused kombucha, Nevada County, and spark your organic cackles, because Heidi Hall, our wokest warrior queen, is preaching her way to Congress in a campaign against Kevin Kiley that’s less “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and more “Dazed and Confused.” Your ol’ pal Rusty Dankbud, the ganja-guru of local lunacy, was toking on some primo “Sierra Skunk” when I sniffed out this fiasco weeks ago.

Heidi Hall and the TDS Brigade: Bay Area Retirees Rage as Kiley Skips Their Prius-Powered Pity Party

Rusty Dankbud went at Miners Foundry to watch Kevin Kiley pull a vanishing act on the Indivisible Nevada County town hall, leaving a room full of Bay Area transplant, Trump-deranged, Prius-piloting relics who ditched San Francisco for bucolic Nevada County clutching their “Resist” pins and unraveling into a woke frenzy. The townhall turned into a three-hour TDS therapy session with keynote preacher Supervisor Heidi Hall, Nevada County’s self-anointed queen of sanctimony, leading the charge like a progressive televangelist on a righteous bender.

Kale Chips and Chaos: Boomers Turn Democracy into a Dank Freakout

Poor Kevin Kiley—our District 3 golden boy—probably thought he was doing a solid with these office hours. “Come vibe, constituents!” he says, all polished and straight-edge, expecting a few chill folks with pothole gripes and legitimate federal budget concerns. Instead, he gets a tsunami of progressive Boomers, a plaid-and-patchouli posse demanding he dismantle the patriarchy by lunch or at least ban plastic vape pens in Nevada County.

Nevada County’s Paycheck Survey: Alison Lehman’s Master Plan to Prove She’s Underpaid

In a move that has left taxpayers clutching their wallets and laughing through the tears, Nevada County Executive Alison Lehman and her trusty Board of Supervisors have greenlit a $75,000 contract with Bryce Consulting, Inc., to “survey” their compensation. Because apparently, the only thing more critical than affordable housing or higher wages for lower-level county staff is figuring out if Lehman’s nearly half million-dollar annual compensation package comes with enough gold stars.
