My Side of the Fence

The danger isn't going too far. It's that we don't go far enough.

Evolving Budget Post

Okay, as I get more links available I’ll put ’em up. I would offer that the headline news in the City Manager’s budget is that we cut another 20 positions. To give you an idea of how serious it is, that includes 2 police officers. I’ve only been on the Council 4 years but we have added officers every year I believe.   Overall spending (Schools and City) is reduced by about $5 million.

To help everyone keep things straight, the Council will be working on the FY 2011 budget.  We are currently in FY2010

    Andy, the links worked fine. Have to give our local news rag credit as the story in today’s paper was clearly written – to include the 10 layoffs & 10 positions to remain vacant.

    Rough, really rough.
