Tonight, Neosho city manager Harlan Moore announced that $400,000 will be cut from each of the departments providing police and fire protection. That number totals 20-22 jobs. Cuts from city hall will add another $100,000. All total - $900,000 in cuts were announced tonight.
Good news – that’s $300,000k less than we were originally projecting.
I am a little surprised by those who are now blaming the city manager for making irresponsible cuts and who are also asking for HIS head because of it.
In 15 separate presentations, this was clearly stated as a likely outcome if cuts were required. If you’re surprised, I’m not sure what to say.
