Supervisors back away from proposed cuts in funding for drug-court counselors and emergency medical help for the uninsured.

Orange County supervisors on Tuesday backed away from some of the biggest proposed cuts in the county's budget for the coming year, saying they would rather try to find the money to pay for drug-court counselors and emergency doctors and hospitals who treat uninsured patients.
The board also voted to set aside $850,000 to cover three years' worth of lost tax collections from boaters at Dana Point Harbor. The county essentially forgot to collect taxes on boat slips and dry storage in the marina because of a bureaucratic oversight. For a time it considered making boaters pay the back taxes, but the appropriation means they will have to pay the assessment only beginning this year.
