Louisville's Budget: How Low Can it Go?

As Louisville's revenue streams have stopped flowing quite so strongly, there is proposed $2.8 million in budget cuts for 2007. The Louisville Times reports this somewhat large number, however the Daily Camera's article describes cuts in 2007 of about $721,000.

So in reading these two articles, I'm stumped right now. On the city's website, there is no obvious link to any budget info. Any budget wonks out there with ideas, please write in.

Given the financial cuts proposed, however big they really are, it will be interesting to see how voters decide on Louisville Issue 2A. Read a guest opinion in the Daily Camera by Jerome T. Maddock supporting 2A. Comments refuting 2A by William Kucharski are in this Daily Camera article.

There will be a public hearing regarding the 2007 budget Wednesday, Nov. 8. Call 303-335-4536 for more info.
