The county budget will be the big topic of discussion at today's joint meeting of the school board and county commissioners.
County Manager David Cooke will explain his budget, which would cut spending, cut jobs, freeze pay raises and keep the property tax rate flat. He'll also mention why he's recommending giving the school board $3.3 million less than the $316.8 million it has requested.
The meeting will start at 9 a.m. in the ground floor conference room of the Wake County Office Building, 337 S. Salisbury Street in Raleigh. It's open to the public.

I look into my crystal ball
Wed, 05/20/2009 - 11:30 — Big_PictureI look into my crystal ball and predict BoE whining about not enough money, bare bones already, threatening to cut programs that will hurt students and classrooms unless they get what they want. No plans to trim the fat called failed MYR. The arrgance and lies coming from this current BoE will continue until the new regime settles in this fall. Utterly disgusting.

Real simple.....
Wed, 05/20/2009 - 10:22 — Wuptdomy two cents on any government budget during the current economy -- cut pay and benefits by at least 10%. The employees don't like it, they can always leave for a job in the private sector. I sure they won't have a problem filling those jobs.
Also, with less pay, the county employees will have to pay less tax to both the federal and state; and that's a good thing.
Remember it is not a revenue problem, it is a spending problem.
