Village of Waterford Looks at Across-the-Board Cuts


Village set to cut costs across the board.  (myracinecounty.com, 9/28/2011)

Excerpt: The board talked at length about library funding as well, as the library tries to keep its funding steady so as not to cause issues with funding from Racine County.

The operations expenditures at the library are expected to drop, as there will be decreases in wages and benefits, as well in technology consulting costs, telephone, postage and supply costs
