City of Madison 2010 Budget Picture

Link to July 13 Wisconsin State Journal article, "Madison's budget a 'very serious' situation, mayor says".

Excerpt: Again, Madison faces a tough budget with the prospect of layoffs, a wage freeze or service cuts, Mayor Dave Cieslewicz said Monday.

“It’s very serious,” Cieslewicz said, adding that the situation is worse than last year’s “worst budget in decades” because revenue streams have dried in the recession.

“It’s highly unlikely we’ll be laying off police officers or firefighters,” he said. “Beyond that, I don’t think there’s anything we can take off the table.”

Mayor Dave is still open to a new Central Library.
