NORWALK, Conn.
Cries of “painful cuts” for Norwalk’s school system
are sure to intensify with Tuesday’s Common Council decision: members voted 10-5 to set a budget cap that is $1 million
lower than the controversial recommendation made by the City’s finance chief.
“I think I speak for more than a few of us when I say that this was by far one of the most challenging budgets that we had to face in recent years, if not ever. We had to weigh the normal issues of the city that we were very familiar with but also account for many of the unknowns driven by COVID,” Council President Nick Sacchinelli (D-At Large) said.
