Summary
Ludlow’s city council is on the verge of approving this year’s budget after clearing its first reading — and if it passes the second, the city will finally have a working plan instead of running on last year’s numbers. The new budget prioritizes public works, fire services, and parks, funds road repairs without touching the general fund, and adds three full-time EMTs — a major upgrade from the original proposal. Council members initially balked at the draft, citing structural flaws and concerns about using savings to cover operational gaps. The mayor admitted drafting was tough without a city administrator — a role Ludlow has been without since March, and one the new budget doesn’t even pay for, needing a later amendment. Despite lingering concerns, most council members are now ready to move forward, praising the mayor’s flexibility and eager to get back to serving the community’s real needs.
