Amherst faces 46000 deficit without budget cuts
Amherst faces a 46000 shortfall in the coming year if the proposed 248000 general fund budget stands and tax receipts do not rise. Councilman James Smith says only 40 percent of income tax goes to the general fund after collection costs. The council plans trimming and seeks larger shares of state sales tax and bank deposit taxes, with special budget meetings scheduled February 27 March 6 and March 11.
