Budget memo was misinterpreted

The Thursday, Nov. 4, bad news article about the Batavia 2011 budget implies that our bargaining units are considered to be “storm clouds” on the horizon when actually the phrase is used in relation to the state of Illinois. Our bargaining units were only mentioned in relation to potential amendments to this draft budget. I wish we had been contacted to discuss this important document.
