> The vote leaves the library with funds through the first quarter of next year. Once a reserve fund is used up, it would be forced to close, Larry Walton, the library board’s president, told Bridge Michigan – harming not just readers but the community at large.
Can anyone knowledgeably comment on the accuracy of this statement?
- aardvarkr 4y agoThat’s typically what happens when something gets defunded…do you doubt the veracity in any way?
