School Beat: 2006-7 Budget Plan hopes for 5% increase in utility costs

The past winter was the warmest in at least 40 years. Consequently, planning on another warm winter may not be prudent. Yet, in the Evansville School Board budget discussion tonight, Supr. Carvin notes that her proposed budget will ".... allow for a 5% increase in utility costs over what is projected this year. "

Ah....... the power of positive thinking.

What is your personal plan for energy budget for next year? Did you budget a 5% increase in cost also?

You make the call.
