Sacramento County racism
The historic vote was almost unanimous, with the exception of one supervisor, Sue Frost, who said she does not view America as a racist country. The motion was spearheaded by District 1 Supervisor Phil Serna, according to the report.
The vote was four to one in favor of the resolution, which requires the county to eliminate any racial discriminatory policies.
Serna cited the police custody death of George Floyd as a factor in wanting to pass the resolution.
“The events this summer with the tragic murder of George Floyd and others really caused a lot of rightful introspection by many of us in elective office to understand how much work there is left to do to confront racism generally, but, especially as it relates to public health,” Serna said.
