The Mayor’s Minute from Mayor Patrick Collins – April 9th
CHEYENNE – This week starts our meetings with department heads to discuss the upcoming budget. It is an opportunity for them to share their vision for how the departments should look in the next budget year. I so appreciate the great group of directors we have and wish I could grant all their requests. This budget year is going to be a real challenge as our economy slowly recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic slowdown. I must present my budget recommendations to the City Council by the first of May.

The Senate approved a budget resolution early Friday morning, which is a key step toward the fast-track passage of President Biden s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan. The move was not met with support from Republicans. Vice President Kamala Harris was in the chair to cast the tie-breaking, deciding vote. It was her first.
