Genoa City (WI) Public Library: Reading Between the Lines

Link to November 11 lakegenevanews.net post, "Cut this, cut that: Genoa City's proposed 2010 budget".

Excerpt: Keeping expenditures in line with revenues in the proposed 2010 budget was the greatest challenge for village officials this budget season.

But officials slashed numbers from several expenditure areas, including those for the Village Hall, police patrol, building inspector, parks, public works and tree and brush removal.

Notice that the library is conspicuously missing from this list.
