Summarizing from Matt Hewsons excellent article from The Independent – 30 June 2023
The 2023 -24 CoGG budget has been passed, fully restoring funding for lifesavers, while leaving libraries with a $406,000 shortfall.
The library funding issues have rallied more ratepayers to voice there concerns than any other issue last year.
I am amazed that CoGG is happy to spend lots of money to build new libraries and forgets to fund running costs.
