Murphysboro weighs cuts to save jobs in budget talks
Murphysboro officials grapple with a tight budget as the budget and finance committee considers options from layoffs to consolidating police and fire chief roles under a single public safety director. Mayor Ron Williams says the aim is to avoid layoffs while preparing for a April 13 city council meeting. Alderman Austin Riggio proposes saving about 87 thousand dollars by reducing contracted maintenance and shifting staff to four 10 hour days plus a clothing allowance cut, enabling kept jobs and extra mowing and cleaning work.
