While the Capital Budget is well underway, we haven’t even seen the Operating Budget yet. However, so far I have heard $2 bus fares, WYOU will be cut by $140,000 which is all their funding and Sister Cities will be cut in half. If you’re anxious to see what else is up, here’s some dates of importance.
