Sources tell PhillyClout that City Treasurer Rebecca Rhynhart will be appointed budget director today. Mayor Nutter plans to make the announcement at a 2 p.m. press conference.

Former Budget Director Steve Agostini left the administration on Friday for a job in Washington, DC. Nutter's press office declined comment until after the press conference.

really does not matter. If we spend more than we take in then a budget is NO Good. This seems to happen forever. We need city employee cuts and to sell a ton of city land assets (parks and recreation). I could type all day just few quick ideas.

Budget Director sounds like really crappy job. You just sit around with your hands tied by union contracts, state mandates and politicians who don't want to ruffle voters' feathers too much.
