Things don't look promising for the next fiscal year - there are reports in the paper that real estate assessments are down over 5% starting in July - that means even less money for things that are important and for those things that are niceities.
I guess we were lucky for a long time in this area - we weren't horribly affected (there were cuts and all but by and large things went along fairly normally) until now - now there's talk of significant cuts in city services as well as new fees (garbage collection fees for example). Everything is going to be different - and in turmoil - for some time. And, based on the news the past few days, I don't think it's going to be better next year either.
I'll have to keep my fingers crossed for better fiscal news in the future.
