In an effort to save the county $300,000, a county court in Santa Cruz and another in Watsonville will be closed on the third Wednesday of every month beginning Sept. 16.

Announcements of the furlough have been posted in both courthouses and will feature in public service announcements on local radio and television stations. Read more at the Mercury News.
