No Comments on NECALF 2011 Budget
The Northeastern Colorado Association of Local Governments expected to hear from the public about its 2011 budget, but nobody had anything to say. There are several increases expected in that budget, like salaries, benefits, fuel costs, labor and maintenance costs and the cost of liability insurance. There's also an increase expected in revenue, from just over 9.2 million dollars to just over 9.4 million. Since no one from the public commented on the budget, it was readied for adoption at the December meeting.

Along with whatever sentence she'll serve, Nelson was ordered last week to pay more than 54 thousand dollars in restitution. The judge said that while Nelson was eligible for probation, she could spend two to six years in prison and multiple sentences would be served concurrently, or at the same time.
