JOHNSTOWN, Pa. —
Council members said they made the decision for the good of the financially strapped community, but residents said they shouldn't bear the burden.
"I just feel it's ridiculous. Why should we have to pay to get them out of debt? I don't feel it's right," said Ted Passeau, who works in Johnstown.
City Councilwoman Ann Wilson said she thinks people should look at the tax as a user's fee for Johnstown services. She said the job cuts would include a city finance position and a parking bureau job, but more cuts can be expected in the future especially in city management positions.
The final vote on the 2008 budget is scheduled for Dec. 12. Stay with Channel 6 News and WJACTV.com for continuing coverage.
