Mount Airy residents apparently have no problem with the city’s proposed budget for the fast-approaching 2021-22 fiscal year, judging by comments or the lack thereof during a public hearing on the spending plan.
Only one person spoke at the hearing held before the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners Thursday night and he was complimentary toward the package.
“I have read all 110 pages and I thought it was very well prepared,” Joseph Zalescik said of the preliminary budget that had been released by City Manager Barbara Jones on May 20. “It’s a very good snapshot of what Mount Airy does for the community.”
