Nutter: More bad news coming

Link: Nutter Says Budget Update Coming Soon [PhillyClout]

"It could be in the course of this week," Nutter said of the announcement. "Don't have the final, final numbers yet and that's what we would use to make our projections for the rest of FY09 and the five year plan. I can tell you, unfortunately, things have continued to deteriorate and it is of great concern."

Back in November, Nutter put the deficit at $1 billion over five years -- prompting the city to announce a cost-cutting plan that included laying off city workers, closing libraries and pools and delaying tax cuts. Due to a further decline in tax receipts, Nutter has said the budget gap has grown, but has not yet released an exact figure.

About this blog
Every year, city government spends slightly more than $4 billion. Where does all that money come from? More importantly, where does it go? Are we getting the most bang for our tax buck? “It's Our Money” is a joint project between Philadelphia Daily News and WHYY, funded by the William Penn Foundation, designed to answer these questions.
