[Mpls] LGA Cuts

[Delcalzojan]

Will someone with a fine mathematical mind please try to sort out the conflicting statements about the cuts in LGA.  The Governor says a city should be able to cut 5% with no sweat and that is all any one city is being asked to do.  Others say that the City will take a 30% hit.  On what base are these statements talking about - does anyone know?

I would have to agree that a city should be able to trim 5% from its budget, but I'd like to know what the real numbers are.
