Mayor Mike McGinn presented his proposed 2011-2012 budget Monday afternoon. It includes a number of cuts to make up a $67 million general fund deficit. In our area the Mayor is proposing cuts to the Ballard Community Center. MyBallard will have a full report after the meeting. The city will hold two more public hearings on the budget:
