The Council brought forward over 50 amendments to try and curb the continued growth of government, it is out of hand! If I recall what Sullivan-Leonard did was to show that the City has not shown accurate sales tax revenue projections and she wanted that to be accurate not so she could spend more! The City said they were $540,000 in shortfall so had to pull from savings to pay it. That's not good business practice. As far as I could see Harris and Sullivan-Leonard had the most amendments that would truly reduce the general government for example, over-time to excessive out of state travel. Woodruff wanted to cut in some areas just so she could spend in other areas, that doesn't help, it just shifts money around. Sorry your informant didn't have better facts to share, her recollection is pretty slanted I'd say. You should read the Frontiersman article from Sullivan-Leonard regarding sustainable and accountable budgets, she gets it.
