Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
The Waukegan City Council has postponed votes on both the city budget and salary ordinance for two weeks, citing a need for more clarity on the numbers. The delay could affect $60 million in capital improvements and potentially delay pay for high school and college students in summer jobs. Ald. Jose A. Guzman successfully pushed to table the salary ordinance before the budget vote, while Ald. Thomas Hayes supported more time for study to allow reasoned decision-making.
