Metro Budget Update

I just received this info from someone close to the Metro budget process...

Sources close to the budget debate have confirmed the fact that in response to questions from WSMV and WTVF today, Councilmen Eric Crafton revealed that as a part of the alternative budget, schools are funded at a higher level than under the Mayor’s proposal. However, the additional dollars funded over the Mayor’s request are to be earmarked directly for use in the classroom for supplies and books.
