“Children are our most precious asset. Solano County is thankful that only a few of our young children have been victims of senseless violence. With that success goes the responsibility on the part of government and every member of our community to continue our vigilance and to protect our children. We cannot rest until every child in our community is safe,” said Board of Supervisors’ Chair Linda Seifert.
