Link to June 4 Indianapolis Star article, "Library board to delay decision on closures".
Excerpt: The delay will allow the library board’s finance committee more time to review subsequent proposals and suggestions received from the public, it said in a news release. [Delayed until July 15.]
[snip]
The anticipated deficit is the result of the poor economy and lower caps on property taxes that took effect this year by state law. Property tax revenues provided the library system with 80 percent of its $46 million annual budget in 2009, including operating expenses and debt repayment.
