Bob CampbellWednesday's budget presentation by Mayor Davis can be characterized in many ways, but "boring" isn't one of them. Under this proposed budget, our structural deficit will continue to grow by over a million dollars, while simultaneously it asks taxpayers of the city of Missoula to fork over another 3.8% in their property taxes. In an attempt to square the circle, there is also a proposal to once again use Missoula Redevelopment Agency TIF Remittance in the amount of $2.5 million dollars. The situation the city finds itself in fiscally, didn't happen overnight. Bob Campbell represents Ward 5 on the Missoula City Council.
