A City’s Hard Choice: New Tax or No Library
From the article, “Because of an unusual confluence of events, voters will be asked to approve a new tax to pay for a library system that the city budget had always financed. Voters twice rejected the new tax, and unless they vote to approve it Tuesday, the city’s two libraries will have to close July 1.”
(UPDATE 6/4/03): Good News, Library Will Remain Open!
From the article, In a strong show of support for an institution most people take for granted, voters in New Rochelle passed their library budget last night, thus averting a shutdown of the library system this summer.
