The City of Spokane is having budget problems, and they face a $5+ million shortfall or about a 5% cut in all services. Some of the departments have said they can not afford a 5% cut as they have already cut everything possible. This survey is to find out the citizens input on which is the most important services and which to fund. It is called Priorities of Government or POG. Now I know most of this is not related to genealogy, but one of the departments is very important to genealogists; and especially to EWGS the library. http://www.spokanecity.org/government/pog/survey/ Charles
