"County departments were directed to submit 2027 budgets within a target of 102% of their current budgets. For the Library, that means finding approximately $5 million in efficiencies to absorb the increasing expenses for our current services.
"Budget pressures have been building over the past several years. We have managed those constraints with minimal impact on patrons through a combination of generous support from Friends of the Hennepin County Library and targeted reductions in other areas."

Library cuts coming in Minneapolis.
"The changes are not a response to declining library use. The library has more than 600,000 active cardholders—the highest number in a decade. An average of approximately 14,000 people visit our libraries each day. First-time checkouts have increased each year since 2020 and now exceed pre-pandemic circulation with 12.8 million first-time checkouts in 2025."

Foreign companies are making billions off Australia’s gas. It’s time that changed
"While the gas is extracted from beneath Australian soils, the profits go almost entirely to large multinational companies. Research suggests gas companies have made roughly $A149 billion from exports in just four years. Only a small percentage of this profit has been taxed."
"That’s why some politicians, think tanks and environmental groups are pushing for a 25% tax on gas exports.For decades, we’ve allowed foreign companies to earn billions of dollars from our gas sector, and to be taxed very little." >>

The United States is destroying itself - Rebecca Solnit
"Although there are far worse things about the utterly gratuitous and literally unjustified war on Iran, the fact that it burns through billions a day is striking, given that huge cuts are being made to environmental protection and national parks, and the forest service is being effectively sabotaged, while public lands are being offered up to fossil fuel companies and mining interests. The forest service headquarters are being moved across the country, which will probably cause many resignations, like the similar move of the Bureau of Land Management in Trump’s first term. More than 50 forest service research stations are being cut, meaning more loss of irreplaceable ongoing research, data, facilities and staff." >>

Due to cutbacks at our local gym, some of the classes are having to combine. So the Limbo class is joining with yoga to become Pilates of the Caribbean.

In #Michigan’s cherry country, the #federal safety net is fraying
In the hills near Grand Traverse Bay, #weather woes & #Trump #cutbacks are battering #cherry growers
The frost came in late April, sliding across the hills before dawn. Juliette King McAvoy stepped into the orchard, hoping the cold had spared the cherry buds. But they glittered in the morning sun like glass, just as dead.

At #VeteransAffairs, plan for sweeping cuts tanks #morale. Government’s 2nd largest agency, serving some of America’s most #vulnerable citizens, is slated to lose 83,000 employees under #Trump administration #cutbacks. There is no reason for this - the #VA desperately needs more trained staff, not less. This is an abomination, and yet another benchmark of truth vs lies - #veterans who voted for #Trump in large numbers will experience highest loss of critical medical and mental health services.

A very sad day for book lovers & for staff at the Book Depository
Parent companies are all very well - they especially help in times of need.
This is until they themselves have to make cutbacks, then they toss you aside like fodder.
