Chippewa Valley Works Together to Address Budget Issues

Link to August 4 Eau Claire Leader Telegram article, "Chippewa Valley leaders sound budget warning".

Excerpt: About 70 people gathered Tuesday night at Chippewa Valley Technical College for a meeting organized by Citizen Alliance for Strong Communities. The group, formed last year, is a collaboration among local government entities (including the cities of Eau Claire and Altoona, the Altoona and Eau Claire school districts, Eau Claire County and Chippewa Valley Technical College), labor unions, the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce and the Realtors Association of Northwestern Wisconsin.

The alliance hopes to boost the public's awareness of budget problems as well as its involvement in decisions about government services.
