Energy Prices Impacting Local Govermnent Budgets

Budgets everywhere are being strained by the spike in fuel prices after Russia invaded Ukraine.

 

That includes cities paying to gas up police cars and fire trucks. Mark Luft is the mayor of Pekin and he says they have 400 cars and trucks on the road each day and at the end of their budget year they are faced with transportation funds running low.


 

Luft says school districts are also being squeezed as they fuel up busses until the end of the school year.
