Rally planned against state spending plan
STORY TOOLS 
More from Local NewsSanta Paula Latino Town Hall, in collaboration with other community organizations in the Santa Clara Valley, has announced plans to hold a rally Thursday to oppose Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed funding levels for education and social services.
With the state facing a multibillion-dollar budget shortfall, the governor has proposed a budget plan that, according to a statement issued by Latino Town Hall, "unfairly penalizes children, senior citizens and other vulnerable sectors of the community for a budget deficit that is not of their making."
Organizers said the general public is invited to take part in the rally, scheduled from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Veterans Park, Ventura and Tenth streets.
