I got my paws on the two 2012 City of Chester budgets: the one approved in November 2011, and the one amended in January 2012.
Without boring you with exact numbers, here’s the general changes in some of the areas. Come to your own conclusions by section.
Mayor
The salary for the Mayor’s staff was increased by about $40,000 and all overtime was eliminated ($9000).
Professional services increased by $200,000.
Car allowance was eliminated.
Crozer Library was reduced by $107,000 (an alleged mistake).
Solicitor
Staff salary increased $55,000
All council car allowances increased $1,800
Other than that, there were some minor budget changes in the police department and there was a lot of reduced or eliminated overtime across the board.
I believe they’re going to work that $107,000 library money back into the budget so we’ll see how that affects the next version of the budget.
Council car allowances had to increase the majority of new concil dont live in chester. Check it out NJ, Delaware ????
ReplyDeleteWow John and you campaigned on transparency. I guess Liz was right we will be bankrupt like the school district. For people that don't know Councilwoman Williams stated that the city will be bankrupt in 6 months
