Like other cities and towns, Cary has begun the process of creating its next town budget. On Sunday, Mayor Harold Weinbrecht posted this comment in his weekly blog.

Thursday started with a short staff meeting to hear preliminary ideas about the budget. Based on the information being gathered it appears that this budget season might be tougher than ones in the past few years. The council will have tough decisions to make.

The council should hear recommendations from staff in the next few days.

Stay tuned to find out what a “tougher” budget season means to taxpayers.
