Surprise!

Auditor Jayne Ferrero announced that the City of Massillon is facing....
Drum Roll please.... A budget shortfall

The City's budget is short ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

According to Auditor Jayne Ferrero, who has the quote of the day;

"We're on target for the budget that was passed, but we know that we did not budget enough in there for police and fire salaries" (The Independent, June 18, 2010).

Really? You mean the Mayor submitted, and council approved a budget that was not really balanced? We are shocked!

Here it is, Summer, and the city is facing a financial crisis. Who could have ever predicted that?

We did. One month ago, on May 19th. Check for yourself and see how we did.
