Wilmington, Del. —

The budget New Castle County Council will be voting on at its May 26 meeting is taking its final shape.

Cuts to employee's salaries, layoffs, and a deferment of the county's pension contributions will save the county $5.3 million more than was projected when County Executive
Chris Coons first proposed his budget on March 17.

About 1,000 county employees took salaries cuts of 5 percent, while nine paramedics and an undisclosed number of police face layoffs unless the county and FOP can strike an eleventh hour deal.

If approved by council, the county's 2010 operating budget will be $228 million, $11.5 million smaller than 2009's spending plan.

The budget also includes a 25 percent property tax increase.

"I’d like to express my appreciation to Councilman Bob Weiner who exhibits strength, determination and fortitude and is always on the side of the people. I followed Bob’s actions when he was head of CCOBH's zoning committee and made strong efforts to try to stop the Brandywine Town Center construction. He has continued with energy and zeal in many pivotal positions in spite of enduring a lot of negative professional and personal attacks. I appreciate that he is never deterred."
