Vallejo's neighbors try to stay afloat: "The same budgetary nightmare that has shrouded Vallejo - a plunge in tax revenues coupled with rising employee costs - is playing out in the nearby cities of Fairfield and Rio Vista as well as other municipalities hard-hit by the foreclosure crisis.
Rio Vista is talking to bankruptcy attorneys while a 750-home development sits virtually abandoned. Fairfield just sliced 9 percent from its budget and is poised to slash 7 percent more. Earlier this year, Vallejo filed for Chapter 9 protection when faced with a $16 million deficit."
