More Port Angeles Budget Cuts
It looks like William Shore Memorial Pool isn't the only item on the chopping block.
The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center will lose $27,500. The Arthur D. Feiro Marine Life Center will lose $22,500. United Way of Clallam County will lose $62,500 and the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society will lose $26,500.
These are the cuts recommended by the Port Angeles City Council. The final decision will be made on December 2nd. And the four above-mentioned organizations might lose all the rest of their city funding in the 2010 budget.
Also, maintenance for small neighborhood parks will be reduced by $25,000. Funding for economic development will be reduced by $60,000. And there will be $186,000 worth of “unspecified” reductions.
Times are tough. But at least we've got a $14 million bus stop in the middle of town, and a “free” bubble building whose maintenance we will be financing, year after year.
Priorities.
