I’ll consider our municipal and school district budgets over the coming months.
What does it say about us, though, that a quarter-million dollar shortfall is described as a “budget anomaly” occurring “for the first time in known history of the District as can best be remembered?”
That’s the preface to the admission that there was a school district shortfall of $262,000.
So eager is Whitewater to soften mistakes – because there really aren’t supposed to be any mistakes here – that one can only preface the truth with unintentionally funny words of explanation.
