Pinal County Supervisor Pete Rios says $4.6 million in state programs are being cost-shifted to the county this year, and in order to make up for the additional costs, some county programs have to be cut.

Rios, D-Dudleyville, made a visit to the monthly Coolidge Chamber of Commerce luncheon March 16 and provided several updates to the group that gathered at the Coolidge Unified School District board room.
