Many Strokes Though with a Little Axe

PZ's budget woes made it to the Ithaca Journal today. Meanwhile, I am beginning to know people who are being laid off, not just cut back.

And yesterday we received our BOE budget packets, complete with varying scenarios--what local taxes look like if we maintain programs and the governor's budget passes, what programs look like if we aim for a 4% levy increase, etc. We just laughed, nauseatedly. It's beyond bleak.

Sad that the IJ can't tell a frog from a toad, tho...

Sadly, it's the AP, not the IJ.
