Cedar Rapids Faces Looming Garbage Fund Shortfall
Cedar Rapids’ 93 000 garbage disposal fund risks exhaustion with 10 months spent and only 8 909.70 left. Officials warn service will continue even if funds run dry, borrowing from other sources until a new year begins, amid high truck maintenance costs and an unforseen pay rise. The legislature’s action on tax levies is seen as the only potential remedy.
