"I want our politicians to think about these children and these neighborhoods when they start cutting money"
The Essential Services Coalition held a press conferences presenting the cuts and tax increases in the budget passed by the city council for FY 2010.
Above you will hear the concerns of our city's residents about a budget that raises sales taxes, cuts library hours, summer jobs for youth, and charges for care at city health centers. They state that this budget is being balanced on the backs of the city's workers, and with the well being of city's poor abandoned.
Over at the Coalition to Save the Libraries they have posted a statement and some photos from inside city hall.

Global Budget Crisis
Thanks for sharing this advocacy! The global issues forced this kind of advocacy. One of the most common global issues these days is the global budget crisis. Even the government and politicians are having their hard times solving this issue. That is why, in these tough economic times, financial planning is very crucial. People prefer getting access to payday loans in order to keep their money for emergency purposes. The payday loan industry gets a lot of negative press, along with payday lenders. A payday loan, or a payday advances, is a small loan made for a short term, that you pay back – along with a small fee – in a couple of weeks, usually on your next payday. (That's where they got the name.) There are even online payday loans, no fax payday loans, it's a versatile industry, and they offer a lot of temporary debt solutions. For short term expenses, it beats talking to a bankruptcy attorney because of all the debt you racked up with American Express. For a small expense on an irregular basis, a payday loan could work better than credit cards.
