Butte City Seeks Deep Cuts to City Expenses
Butte's Ways and Means Committee considers Mayor Smith plan to cut costs across departments. Proposals include reducing police by 18 officers, closing Caledonia fire station, trimming fire staff, part time engineering staff, and layoffs in other offices. Estimated monthly savings range from 400 to 5 520 dollars, totaling 18 000 to 29 010 annually, with aim to bring expenses in line with income and dodge tax increases. The police budget shows overrun already, with projected yearly total far above appropriation, prompting call for further reductions.
