Mayor Beutler's Statement on Council Passage of City's First Biennial Budget

"I want to thank and congratulate the City Council on completing the City's first biennial budget. It is a great achievement to pass a budget that has no tax increase, no major program cuts, and no use of one-time money. I am proud of the fact that we continued to work together after the budget's introduction to find compromise. The spirit of cooperation has allowed us to fix the budget's structural imbalance while continuing to provide the services that has helped make Lincoln a nationally recognized community for business climate and quality of life."
