City/County budgets hit by gas prices

June 17, 2008 - 7:45 AM

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Gas prices are hitting us right where it hurts, the bank account.

 

But imagine owning dozens of vehicles.

 

Congressman Tim Walberg and Battle Creek Mayor Mark Behnke want to let you know what gas prices are doing to city and county budgets.

 

Tuesday morning they're hosting a public forum. Along with the budget they'll talk about the impact on local emergency services and ideas to turn things around.

 

You can stop by and chime in at 10 o'clock at the Battle Creek Chamber of Commerce.
