Finance Committee Update

We had another meeting of the Finance Committee on Thursday. The Board of Alderman were more fired up this week and asked a number of more tough questions. Kudos to Charles Blango who did a great job and who was much more challenging than last week. Jorge Perez and Roland Lemar also asked a number of questions to budget presenters. Ina Silverman was more active than last week and Al Paolillo and Mordechai Sandman also questioned presenters. The remainder of the committee was again largely quiet.
