The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved its $11.3 billion budget this week, closing a $120 million deficit and eliminating roughly 600 vacant positions despite pushback from county employees.

The budget, which is the last to be shaped by county executive Jeff Smith who will retire this summer after more than a decade at the helm, allocates dollars to some of the board’s top priorities like expanding access to behavioral healthcare, building more housing and providing support to children and families.
