Tough choices face the Colorado Springs City Council today, as the nine-member panel decides how to slash millions from its budget in response to steeply declining revenue.
The nine-member panel will meet about 2 p.m. for its annual budget mark-up session. The Gazette will feature live reports from the meeting on this page, starting at 1:30 p.m. Readers are invited to watch the live reports and participate in a discussion about options for the city, hosted by reporter Perry Swanson. City Hall reporter Daniel Chacon will follow up with news coverage on gazette.com during the day and a report in Tuesday's print edition.
The meeting will also be broadcast live on Comcast Channel 18, and on the city's Web site.
