Our general fund will rise by 3.6 % over last year. Now, mind you, I and many others haven't had a raise in 3-4 years, so, though this increase in modest, I can't get that excited about it.
The size of local, state, and federal government budgets seem to be on the verge of getting larger, and where will the money come from to fund the increases? Organizations like the Woodstock Library and local School districts become the target, because their budgets are voted on by the public.
The Woodstock Library is now going into their second year without a budget increase. They will enter into 2009 at the same budget level as they had in 2007. ( I'll write more about the Woodstock Library in a future post.)
