Three Days to Go

At some point between today at Friday (probably today, no?), the City Council and Mayor need to get a budget done (or go 1/12th, which is highly unlikely).

So, today, we have nothing but odds. Feel free to make your predictions:

Will the Council approve the budget? EVEN ODDS
How many councilors will vote against the budget? OVER/UNDER: 1.5
How much, in the end, will the council cut? OVER/UNDER: $400,000
How many councilors will say they are "grudgingly" (or similar) voting for the budget? OVER/UNDER: 2.5
How many new police officers will be included in the budget? OVER/UNDER: 4.5
At the last minute, will Mayor Dan Mylott say, "Now that you've approved the budget, I just want to let you know I'm cutting $1 million off the bottom line. It was my plan all along, but I didn't want to butt in"? EVEN ODDS
