Local municipalities doing what they can in tough times
Beaver Dam Daily Citizen, 12.01.08
While news on the nation's economy continues to be sour, local city and county governments are fighting the good fight.
That was the overriding sentiment delivered during Wednesday's Economic Update Luncheon hosted by the city of Beaver Dam Chamber of Commerce at Beaver Dam Country Club.
Beaver Dam Mayor Tom Kennedy started off the afternoon reading a list of communities and their 2009 budget woes. Staff and service cuts abound around the state, and Kennedy contrasted those situations with that of Beaver Dam's.
