On behalf of the Lodi City Council, I would like to commend the Sister
City Committee for its action in taking a ten percent'reduction in its
budget for the 1993/94 fiscal year.
These are trying times that we are all, experiencing. It is not only
effecting governmental agencies, it is hurting everybody—actions need
to be taken immediately to aid in this budgetary crisis. If the public
and private sectors work together, the economy will bounce back, and
this joint effort is vital for this recovery.
Thank you again, Sister City Committee, for your sincere efforts during
this budgetary crunch, every bit helps!
Very truly yours,
