Badger Herald, 10.3.07
Tuesday marked the introduction of Mayor Dave Cieslewicz's $224 million 2008 budget for the city of Madison, which focuses on public safety and economic development.
Before the budget can be passed, it must be introduced and approved by the City Council. It was scheduled to be introduced at Tuesday's City Council meeting; however, a motion was passed at the meeting to postpone budget discussion to a later date.
"The budget that we adopt each year is a reflection of the values, concerns and priorities of our community," Cieslewicz said in a press release. "My 2008 executive operating budget proposal makes responsible, balanced investments in Madison's public safety, quality of life, transportation infrastructure, network of community services and economic development."
