City Hall witness backs budget cuts and unions stance
Superintendent George W. Morrison known as Deacon told the appropriations committee he cares not if workers are in unions as long as they perform well. He said he began by firing 11 workers and plans further reductions while rejecting a pay cut for himself. Other officials claimed budget strains, with Schoolhouse Commissioner Mullen proposing salary cuts and street and public grounds departments seeking more funds. The panel likely tops up several department requests, but the total budget differs from the anticipated tax levy by about 659,521.
