Yolo CountyTwo weeks ago, we had our listing of the 100K Club of Davis. In it were the 61 employees of the city of Davis who earned $100,000 or more in 2007.

This past week, the County Board of Supervisors on a somewhat rare party-line vote, decided to continue the needle exchange program that will cost the Yolo County taxpayers $100,000 per year.
This despite tangible evidence of problems with the program.
One of the biggest problems with the program at this point has to do with the number of unaccounted for needles.
