Township budget OK'd, but only after $9,000 item removed
CHAMPAIGN – The City of Champaign Township Board approved a $679,000 budget for the fiscal year that began Tuesday, but only after it removed $9,000 that Township Supervisor Linda Abernathy wanted for outside legal help and professional fees.
The flap arose Tuesday night when Mayor Jerry Schweighart questioned the need to spend $9,000 for outside legal help, when the city attorney's office has been providing services for free to the township.
