Link to November 5 Herald-Times-Reporter article, "Manitowoc officials review Nickels' 2010 budget proposal".
Excerpt: Formal discussions began this week as city officials continue to review and scrutinize Mayor Justin Nickels' 2010 budget proposal.
The city's Finance Committee has met twice to discuss the budget since Nickels introduced it during an Oct. 19 City Council meeting, and so far, only one item has been nixed: a $14,500 line to buy new laptops for City Council members.
The laptops were part of a larger plan to reduce paper costs by providing council members with digital documents instead of the hundreds of pages of paper they receive now.
Who's not doing his job here? A cost-benefit analysis should easily sell this proposal. But maybe some members of the council are fearful of being accused of playing solitaire during meetings.
