Concord, NH, faces $7M budget gap

It may only be a fraction of the state's pending budget deficit, but the capital city of Concord is $7 million in the red, according to this AP story in the Union Leader:

City Manager Tom Aspell said Tuesday several city services, programs and jobs could soon be eliminated under the plan, which includes 14 city worker layoffs.

The plan would not fill six police department spots, and a fire engine would be taken out of service. The library branch in Penacook would also shut its doors permanently.
