The South Kingstown Town Manager will be releasing the operations budget this Thursday (26 Feb 2009). It will be available for downloading from www.southkingstownri.com and there are usually a few copies available at his office for borrowing. Then on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (3, 4, and 5 Mar 2009) the budget will be formally presented to the council and the public. There will also be a joint meeting on Thursday, March 12 between the town and the school. The school accounts for just over 80% of the town's budget.
This budget will be severely constrained by the downturn in the economy, the loss of specific state funding, the general changes of money transfers from state to cities and towns, and even the continuing reduction of auto tax revenue. It will also be somewhat tentative as the state's supplementary budget has yet to be finalized.
Please put these meetings on your calendar. If you can't come then choose someone among your friends and/or colleagues to attend the meetings to represent your position as members of this community.
