Oswego Council Examines Departments’ Budgets
Members of the Common Council on Tuesday night began going over the proposed 2012 budget department by department – line by line. It’s a tight budget, Mayor Randy Bateman said. It holds the line on spending and there shouldn’t be any tax increase, he added.

The parade, from West Park to Breitbeck, drew several hundred participants, from infants to teen-agers. Many of them were dressed in English attire, highlighting the cultural component of the 2011 festival – “England.” “The children’s parade, that’s what makes Harborfest. It’s all about the children and families,” said Harborfest Board of Directors President John Scardella.
