Nice coverage of counties here in the Press Enterprise (Riverside, Calif.) on the California State Association of Counties meeting, Nov. 16-19.
Riverside County Supervisor John Tavaglione, who will become the group's president Thursday, effectively captured the sentiment of many elected county officials across the country by saying:
"Day in and day out, our members see the growing need for local services that residents deserve. The association's role in protecting those residents has grown dramatically as state budget problems have worsened."

County offers discount dental program
Good news here for the residents of DuPage County, Ill.: They will soon be saving money on their dental expenses thanks to their membership in NACo.
As reported in the Lisie (Aurora, Ill.) Sun: "James Healy, County Board member from District 5 of Naperville, said the DuPage Dental Discount Program is a result of DuPage County’s affiliation with the National Association of Counties, which selected Careington as the vendor for the dental program following a lengthy evaluation process."
Healy is an active member of NACo. He is Vice Chair of the Transportation Steering Committee, and is a member of the Membership Committee, Programs and Services Committee and the Large Urban County Caucus.
NACo recently launched the Dental Discount Program to help residents in member counties. Thirty-eight counties have agreed to be a part of a pilot to test the program. The program will provide residents in those counties with cards that will save from 5% to 50% on a full complement of dental services. The cards will cost $59 a year for individuals and $69 a year for families.
