Along with the property tax income being down 21%, I wonder what else the City plans to do? They had only budgeted for a 4 million dollar loss in revenue, and I think it will be hard not to at least ask the police department for a concession either in salary or benefits. I'd rather see that, than layoffs.
I believe we are in historic times.
