City to Hoard Funds as 15000 Boston Workers Face Pay Cut
City Auditor Mitchell warns Boston may withhold full salaries for 15000 employees including the Mayor unless council speeds up the segregated budget process.

The mayor urges immediate temporary or full-year appropriations, but the itemized budget complicates rapid relief.
