Link to June 24 Marshfield News Herald article, "Marathon County Board prioritizes budget".Excerpt: Education, parks and other quality-of-life programs could be among those to suffer cuts in Marathon County's 2010 budget if officials follow a "prioritization process" that began with community input.
County Board members heard the results Tuesday of a survey in which they ranked spending priorities, with public safety at the top, followed by health, helping vulnerable populations -- the poor, elderly and infirm -- and transportation. Lowest on the priority list were education and community development.
I don't hear good news for libraries in this report.
A key question: How was the survey administered?
