billconnors has left a new comment on your post "Evansville Budget Corner: City Reaches Levy Limits":

Did Jennifer's memo say anything about the 2008 budget? The levy limit is based, in part, on growth in tax base. The tax base recently stopped growing much outside of the tax incremental districts. The city is adding positions in the 2007 budget which will create permanent spending increases in 2008, 2009, etc. The city could find itself in a very tight spot when it puts together its 2008 budget at this time next year.

I hope the city hires a new administrator who is an ace at budgeting and does not follow Mayor Decker's suggestion to strip the city administrator of responsibility for the formulating the budget.
