Erie City Council met on Tuesday to try and finalize its 2023 budget.
Council members asked for Mayor Joe Schember to cut $2 million worth of spending in the upcoming budget.
Mayor Schember said he’s cut almost $820,000 and headed back to the council to see if that would be enough. The council seemed to agree, passing the budget by a vote of 5 to 2.
We’ll have the details about the finalized budget on JET 24 Action News at 11 p.m.
