City budget wrangling leaves Las Vegas officials split
City Manager Bill Adams and department heads draft a revised budget to win at least three votes on the Las Vegas City Commission. The graph shows five versions from April to June with only three items recurring, including 275,000 general fund capital, 35,000 pool renovations, and 55,000 for a para medic program. The Reed Whipple Center renovation vanishes after a fluctuating history. Police spending remains the flashpoint with 1.2 million revenue sharing for a substation tied to district.
