While the Town Council has taken some steps to fill the gap in the 2015-16 fiscal year budget, more work has to be done — and council members want that to be done soon.”
“Soon” would be a good idea because the clock expires on June 30th. What is the problem here? You’ve got a slew of non-union salaries that were arbitrarily raised by the mayor. (Well, maybe one was for services rendered.) You got 27 very expensive automotive perks that were handed out to mayoral favorites. You’ve got a BOE budget that no one understands. What is the problem here? 10 people can’t figure out what is unnecessary? Prior to November 3 2015 all ten of these Councilmen told us they knew exactly what to cut.
What happened?
