Santa Clara County officials face criticism for their budget decisions, particularly regarding a $65,000 grant given to a political organization led by Evan Low, while cutting vital funding for charities that feed the homeless. Todd Langton, leader of Agape Silicon Valley, expressed his dismay, suggesting that the funds allocated to Low's group could have significantly helped local LGBT homeless individuals. Additionally, concerns about Low's past political misconduct, including substantial fines for campaign finance violations, have raised questions about the appropriateness of the county's financial support for his initiatives.
Supervisors Margaret Abe-Koga and Otto Lee allocated $65,000 to support an LGBTQ political summit while cutting essential charity grants for feeding the poor.
Charities have expressed outrage, highlighting the stark contrast between funding political events and their own need for resources to support vulnerable populations.
