How not to protect your department from budget cuts

Ann Arbor's city government has some tough budget issues to deal with, as both property tax revenues and state revenue sharing are falling in the recession.

Note too that annarbor.com helpfully passes along the names of the websites where the police found the escorts, just in case any of its readers might find those tidbits interesting.
