Roughly 65 miles to the east of Los Angeles is the mid-sized city of Redlands, California. With a population of more than 70,000 people, Redlands is feeling the same financial pinch so many communities are struggling with. But Redlands has done something unique in its attempts to deal with it – it is using volunteers to fill out the public service positions the budget won’t allow it to fill.
