I am pleased to report that public libraries were not included in the
$454 million dollars worth of cuts approved by the Board of Public
Works yesterday.
My optimism is guarded in that local funding to Allegany County was cut
and they may be forced to cut funding for the agencies they fund, like
us.
Also the "budget blues" are still out there as the current projection
for the state government is that they need to make up between 1 and 1.5
Billion dollars to balance next years budget.
Thanks
