...Cambridge City Council discussed the state-wide budget cuts exceeding one billion dollars at the weekly town hall meeting yesterday. The decrease in state funding will affect many local programs in public health, safety, and education, according to a report prepared by the City Manager, Robert W. Healy. “Even though this is bad news, we have only just begun,” said Brian P. Murphy ’86-’87, the vice mayor of the City of Cambridge. He said that the income generated by the capital gains tax is expected...

With construction now at a virtual standstill, the county - much like Phoenix - has been one of the areas worst hit by the economic crisis and housing bust. Last year, Prescott, the largest town in Yavapai, elected its first Democratic mayor ever. Governor Janet Napolitano, a Democrat, lost Yavapai by 5,000 votes when she was first elected in 2000 but won it by 10,500 in 2006. And the area's congressional seat - being vacated by Republican Rick Renzi, who is under indictment...
