City officials have finally approved a new budget after weeks at the negotiation table and it wasn't an easy task. The budget was passed and it's not going to cost tax payers or take money away from other city departments. Earlier this month, City Council moved forward on raising taxes by two cents which would go towards fixing the city's residential streets but that was eventually voted down. Then Mayor Joe McComb proposed budget cuts taking one percent from each department's budget, cutting the Fire Department's budget by more than $700,000 and CCPD's budget by about $1 million. But council members like Carolyn Vaughn said they didn't feel comfortable doing that and council wanted other options.
