Cato town board hears protests over Meridian fire contract CATO - The Cato Town Board did not take any action on its proposed 2009 budget Thursday night in response to a number of vocal protests against its decision to reinstitute the Meridian Fire Department contract at its Oct. 7 meeting. The proposed 2009 budget of $443,953 is slightly more than last year's one of $441,706. Until the budget is approved, fire contracts for next year are not firm. |
