Acting City Manager Troy Schulte is expected to release his budget recommendations today. What might we expect?
I asked Deb Hermann that today and she warned that we'll probably be seeing more cuts to the city's capital improvement budget and 100 layoffs, as well as a wage freeze for city employees.
The cuts to capital are because the city will have to use the money to pay off general obligation bonds. Some of that money will likely have to come from the city's Public Infrastructure Advisory Committee fund, better known as PIAC.
That's bad news for folks all over the city who want to see their curbs and sidewalks fixed, and other basic things like that.
They lay off scenario is tough, too. Every indication I have is that city staff is too thin already. It's bound to impact basic services.
