Nearly half of the Springfield Fire Department s operating budget was slashed Tuesday and the Springfield City Council added on eight amendments that directly affected the Fiscal Year 2022 corporate fund budget before giving its final approval on a 9-1 vote.
That vote capped a nearly four-and-a-half-hour evening that started with a Committee of the Whole meeting then went to a public hearing session before the special city council meeting.
It was also the last meeting for Ward 3 Ald. Doris Turner. Turner was selected by the 48th Legislative District Committee on Feb. 6 to fill Sen. Andy Manar s seat in the Illinois Senate.
