Link to November 18 Sheboygan Press article, "Budget plan may keep jobs, erase deficit".
But the current version still doesn't address the 11% cut in the library budget.
Excerpt: The budget does not address a proposed $300,000 cut in the Mead Public Library budget, and some aldermen called for fully funding the library so it can remain in the Eastern Shores Library System and continue with its full services.
"The library is the cornerstone of our educational system," said Ald. Bill Wangemann.
Ald. Cory Roeseler said he plans to introduce a document calling for the city to dip into its reserve fund to make up the library shortfall, though Amodeo said that might hurt the city's bond rating if it did.
