Show Notes
Fresno faces a $23.3 million budget deficit, with city departments ordered to cut 5% from their budgets. The citys largest budget ever, $2.3 billion, is struggling due to revenues not keeping pace with spending. Mayor Jerry Dyer suggests raising attrition rates to balance the budget, while council members seek creative solutions without significant tax hikes. New fees for services and increased water and sewer rates are set to take effect, and the fire department receives an additional $1.96 million for overtime and training despite facing 50 vacancies.
