Budget director urges Illinois universities to trim staff for raises
Illinois budget director Robert Mandeville told about 50 SIU professors and administrators that universities may need to cut vacant positions and reduce funds for present programs to fund higher pay for remaining staff. He said layoffs are not favored, but underpayment could force movement of faculty. He cautioned the state’s budget process may limit increases to about 5 percent next year, while SIU seeks a 14.7 percent rise to catch up with peer institutions.

Carbondale considers library bond referendum for February
Carbondale officials endorsed a February bond referendum to fund a 16,000 square foot library on West Main Street at a maximum $65 per square foot. The plan would require a $1.6 million general obligation issue with 9 percent interest, raising property taxes by about $81 annually for a $60,000 home on a 13 year schedule and about $49 on an 18 year schedule. Council members weighed home rule advantages against residents’ tax say, urging fiscal restraint and energy-saving features, with support only from library president Betty Mitchell for the bonds.
