Letter: Majerus wrong about budget process, govt. center spending
To the editor:
The Goodhue County Board began planning to hold budget talks in February and held its first budget planning meeting on May 5. These discussions about costs and benefits were started early in order to avoid the last minute, crisis management mentality that has plagued the budget process in the past.
Budget meetings and discussions are where the needs of roads and bridges, Health and Human Services, veterans, the elderly, the homeless, and the vulnerable, are supposed to be discussed.
