| This week: Our special graduation edition! |
The City of Marion’s budget for the coming fiscal year will retain funding for the county’s hungry and senior citizens, but it cuts out all help to a group aimed at curbing the community’s substance abuse problem and slashes it’s contribution to a namesake downtown revitalization organization. It also denies city employees a raise for the second consecutive year and leaves the fire, police and street departments wanting. In short, times are lean for city government. City Administrator Adam Ledford puts it another way.
