Cheryl Luger notes that during her presentation to the city council
Director Kit Hadley mentions the following...
In what looks like a pretty good apples to apples comparison, The
libraries situation vis a vis the city and parks certified tax levy
and LGA show from 2003 to 2008 :
Librrary board experiencing a decrease of l.5%
City of Mpls shows an increase of 13.79%
Park Board show an increase of 9.56%
From 1994 to 2008 (Certified tax levy, LGA, HACA)
Library board shows an increase of only 41.62%
compared to the city incrase of 77.37% and ther Park boards increase
of 75.23%.
If the Parks are showing an increase of 9. 56% and 75.23 % why are
they always cutting programs. Inflation certainly isn't running at
75.23 % . What happened????
