Mayor Virg Bernero has scheduled a news conference for 9:30 a.m. today to announce $3 million in cuts for the current city budget. The City Hall announcement is expected to include cuts that will affect important services to city residents. As soon as I get the information, I will share it on this blog.
For those interested, here’s City of Lansing Final Budget For Current Fiscal Year. This will allow you to see where Bernero will make the cuts.
