by Regional Councillors begin budget sessions today at City Hall in Sydney.
Today’s meeting follows budget workshops last month where councillors got presentations from Regional staff.
Most municipal departments are starting out with at least a two percent increase in costs because of wage contracts.
That could lead to some tough decisions when councillors try to reach the required balanced budget.
A second day of budget sessions has been set aside for tomorrow if needed.
Today’s session starts at 9:30, this morning.
