Like many others this holiday season, the mayor and City Council of Jonesboro face some tough budgetary decisions -- but theirs involve layoffs, furloughs and taxes.
On Monday, the City Council discussed how to balance the 2011 budget of $2.6 million, something they must do by Dec. 31.
Facing a $300,000 shortfall, the city continues to consider laying off two police officers and requiring all 37 employees to take one furlough day a month.
But even those measures would leave the city $172,000 short.
