Trustee Meeting 11/16 - Budget passes
I don't know what to say here.
The Whitefish Bay Trustees took up the 2010 budget at yesterday's meeting. As posted, there was a public hearing for the budget prior to the official vote.
A grand total of zero people appeared for the budget's public hearing.
The vote was 5-1, as I dissented for the reasons I laid out in my post on Sunday.
I have to say I am bewildered. Thirteen days prior, ~4,000 Villagers turned out to vote on School referendums borrowing $24m for 20 years. That debate was healthy, had multiple factions and forums, and the turnout was high. Contrast that with the Village budget, where we'll spend $13m (plus another $10m in construction) in one year, yet .. no one's interest was piqued enough to show or comment.
It's great news, I guess.
The meeting was finished in a record 35 minutes, and I was home in time to read Goodnight Gorilla to my 1 year old, a priority that now seems greatly higher.
