Proposed cuts to LGA will have deeply negative impacts on the city of St. Paul, and specifically, on the city’s libraries, according to Lilydale Mayor Tom Swain and former St. Paul Mayor George Latimer who co-authored a guest column in this weekend’s Pioneer Press. As both mayors correctly point out, the proposed cuts to LGA do little to solve the state’s budget deficit, but will have a profound effect on libraries, police officers, firefighters, and other city services across the state. The cuts to libraries will be especially devastating, considering that usership and demand for library services has increased dramatically during the current economic downturn.
