The mayor's State of the City speech Feb. 14 painted a bleak economic future for Huntington. He spent a lot of time talking about the economy and how the budget was planned without any additional revenue sources. The city must wait until the Home Rule Board approves the occupation tax before any income sources are identified.
He also spoke about cutting jobs and funds from all departments. Councilwoman Sandra Clements said no one likes lay offs because everyone needs a job, but the city has to do what it has to do and they will have to learn to work within their resources.
In all, it was pretty interesting to hear first-hand about the city's problems.
