Library Gets Boost, Transit Takes Hit | Boise News
Description

Residents flooded the meeting halls, passionately defending the library as a vital community hub and criticizing the transit cuts as shortsighted. Meanwhile, funding for replacing surveillance cameras raised privacy alarms, though police called it part of a planned upgrade. Tough choices were made — balancing needs with dollars — setting the stage for more heated conversations ahead.
