Rushville, IL – Rushville aldermen have finally approved a $3 million spending plan for the budget year that began in May. Mayor Ron Shepherd says it's within $100,000 of being balanced after the finance committee cut more than $700,000 from the last draft. He says they have eliminated new equipment purchases, trimmed utilities and cut wherever else possible. The plan does cover drilling of a new city well and some sewer construction. Shepherd says the budget could be in the black at the end of the year because aldermen did not factor in water and sewer income from the new state prison near town.
