Reductions in spending involves some very tough decisions. Has anybody hear anything about possible consolidations of departments, sharing of equipment and/or staff? reduction in hours worked to 35 maybe to avoid layoffs? Tough choices are ahead of us if we are to get thru this situation. Does anybody see ANY signs city officials are even aware of this? Can it be that they dont want to make these tough decisions and are willing to let the new Council do it so they will look like the good guys? And the new Council the bad guys? Cant find any other possible reason why no action is being taken. Can anybody else explain this? Dr. Mel P. Johnson
