Huntington's Budget Process

Covering the city's budget process is difficult but interesting. It's a daunting task with a lot of quantitative information to understand, but the budget process and subsequent decisions has a major impact on life in Huntington.

A recent example was the city's decision to cut $100,000 in funding to the local animal shelter. The shelter learned of their funding cut through a Herald-Dispatch article.

I am interested in hearing about how the city chooses where to cut funding, and how the city chooses how much to cut from each area.
