Arbitration For City Firefighters Decided

The city's firefighters went to arbitration when they couldn't reach a contract agreement with the city and now the arbitrator has finished up and Common Council knows what the numbers are.

They don't seem to look too great for the city's bottom line.

Without specifying what effect these will have on the 2013 budget, the City's Finance Commissioner Greg Yeomans is suggesting there will be financial implications and cuts are being mentioned if the arbitration award is too expensive.
