Rutland budget battle

The budget battle continues in City Hall this week, with aldermen trying to save the jobs of three employees who have already been told their positions in the city are being eliminated. On Friday, Mayor Christopher Louras said those positions can't be saved.
Louras reminded the board that the charter doesn't allow them to increase budget line items. The salary and health-care lines don't enough money for the three positions, and the mayor down't have the authority to transfer funds from other accounts.
