This week, Prior Lake City Council members had their first of three 2008 budget workshops, the start of a process that will culminate in December. Finance Director Ralph Teschner said the city will have to raise taxes 3 to 5 percent in 2008 to keep the budget in the black. See the story here: http://www.plamerican.com/node/2114

Do you think the city can balance the budget without raising taxes? If so, how? If not, why not?
