The fighting in Ukraine has caused increases in gas costs and inflation which one Cleveland councilman worries will wreck the budget, already with $56 million more in spending than revenue
CLEVELAND, Ohio - The fighting in Ukraine is a world away, but the effects are felt in Cleveland, and will be felt for a while.
Inflation continues and gas prices continue to soar, which will affect a Cleveland budget that already projects spending at $56 million more than revenue. The month, Cleveland City Council expects to pass the $1.8 billion budget, but in addition to the additional costs coming from Ukraine, there’s also 30 union contracts up for negotiation which could put the budget into even more of a deficit, which has even supporters worried.Polensek voted no to the budget, one of only two council members; the other being Brian Kazy on the West side. As council’s elder statesman, Polensek sat in council during the city’s default in 1978.
