“Last year’s budget sheets are corrupt,” [Borough Finance Director Nease] said. “We’re in the process of reconstructing all of it. It has been kind of a nightmare.”
By the new schedule, Borough administration budget recommendations would not be submitted for final review by finance committee chair Rich Kirkner (D-North) and Council president John Messina (D-North) until November 5.
All Council members would not see the results until November 13.

[Borough Manager DiGirolomo] said further that Council “will have a ‘Chinese menu’” of policy and budget alternatives before them at the November 13 meeting. Besides, he said, he expected that Kirkner and Messina would “be working with you guys behind the scenes” well before that meeting.
