City Council Vows To Protect Libraries And Recreation Centers From Cuts

KPBS – “A group of San Diego City Council members vowed today to keep local libraries and recreation centers from painful budget cuts, and outlined a plan to maintain the facilities’ hours and employees.

“Never before has a City Council taken such a hands-on approach to solve budget problems,” council President Tony Young told reporters.

Young and several council colleagues spoke out in response to a proposal by Mayor Jerry Sanders to cut library and recreation center service hours in half to save money and eliminate positions.”
