Library getting short end of mayor's stick?

Jeesh, we should get on with our vacation already and forget all this blogging crap but we keep thinking of yet another item we need to post. Can't leave town without putting this on your radar. Restlessreader points out that the mayor might have forgot something in his budget plan:

-snip-
The Mayor has released his proposed budget for 2006. However, it does not include any increases in operating hours or funding for book collections for the Seattle Public Library. The Seattle City Council made a commitment to restore the cuts that the Library has experienced over the last four years once the budget improved. The City Council will be conducting public hearings on the budget on October 12th and November 3rd. This is a key opportunity for citizens to let the city government know what they think.
