Groups Decry Budget Cuts In Mt. Lebanon

Mt. Lebanon's proposed 2009 budget would cut funding for several community activities and organizations as well as five municipal staff positions.

At a public hearing Nov. 10, stakeholders in programs with funding on the cutting block, such as the Historical Society, Teen Center, First Fridays, and tennis tournaments, made their voices heard.

"I am desperate for funding," said Margaret Jackson, president of the Historical Society of Mount Lebanon. Its $5,000 request from the municipality for 2009, the same amount received last year, was rejected.
