Dusang, a full time student and mother, contends with SRS budget cuts that may end her child care subsidy and threaten her job at COF Training Services. The cuts could force 10 to 13 layoffs and leave her paying an extra $200 monthly for daycare as she finishes college and plans for student loans and retirement.

Ottawa weighs budget cuts and zoning changes amid financial strains
County and city budgets face 300000 dollar losses next year with potential double funding gaps if state cuts persist. Ottawa commissioners approve zoning changes including a historic overlay for 502 Sector, issue day care permits, join a new Power Supply Fund, extend a power mutual aid pact, and address Beech Street easements. Other actions include tax incentives for MacFasteners, a franchise extension with Southwestern Bell, and beer licenses for 19 venues along with airport management discussions.
