Thanks! Last night the new council members observed the political wrangling, deal making and thematic procedures that will soon be a part of their bi-weekly agenda.

Nice article Mike, It's a shame council had to keep perks for themselves while possibly trimming city staff and/or services.

I have to agree with Mr Staub. Council mandated the city had to make cuts — they should do the same. And do I think the city has reach bare bones now — nope, I dont. These are tough times — and we expect our city to make tough decisions — I dont think they have done that yet. What really shocked me was to see how unprepared members of council and city employees were when the budget did not pass. You must look at everything PRIOR to the meeting and submission for votes — what do we do if it passes — what do we do if it doesnt — and it was really clear that the city was not prepared to talk about potential grant losses — and council had no idea they would lose grants if it didnt pass — scary!
