Fire Budget In Valley Slashed

The K-V Fire Department has made good on its directive to shave 75 thousand dollars off its 2011 budget.

Some of the additional cuts include changing an administrative assistant from full time with benefits to a part timer without benefits. A new full-time fighter will also be starting in July rather than January.

Mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ News it wasn't an easy thing to ask.

The budget is 7.2 percent higher than the 2010 budget, coming in at about 3.64 million dollars.
