Show Notes
Tucsons city leaders are grappling with a budget shortfall, aiming to balance the fiscal years budget by summer. Proposed cuts include closing two fire stations and implementing hiring freezes. However, firefighters union head Clayton Black and council members express concerns over staffing shortages and high call volumes. Mayor Regina Romero seeks contributions from the state prison system, governor, and UAs president. East-side council members link budget balancing to reinstating bus fares. Pools are spared from hour reductions, but across-the-board cuts face challenges. More adjustments are expected before Junes budget approval.
