Support Human Need in the City Budget
- Issue: On Monday, September 27, 2004, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels presented his proposed 2005-2006 budget which protects and even expands some important community health and human services. At the same time, however, it reduces services that are just as critical, by almost $318,000. The City Council now has until the end of November to pass a final, balanced budget.
