Below is the "State of the City" Address delivered by Bethlehem Mayor Bob Donchez this morning at the Steelstacks. According to the Mayor, the City has a five-year deficit of $17.7 million. The biggest draw on the $73.7 million budget is salaries and benefits for 610 full-time employees.
Updated 10:40 am, 2/19: An earlier version of this story stated that $73.7 million was spent on salaries, and is inaccurate. I apologize for the factual error.

Pick up the damn recycling and there is still snow in the middle of the street. What the Hell is wrong with you people?
610 employees----74,000,000.00. $120, 000.00/employee are you nuts?
If we are in good shape why are we looking at a 3 million dollar deficit for the up coming budget. I think he is full of shit.
lol- 3 million dollar deficit. yeah ok bobby . but hey he is a good guy ! what a crock.
Stop complaining...gambling revenues will cover it.
one term mayor
3 million is the projected deficit for 2017, it will be 4 or 5 million by the time budget season comes along. And I don't trust anyone on council to make cuts. Too many new guys without experience. Brong will pull the wool over their eyes.
God save us from Willie Wonka, or is it Wanker?
Bethlehem is a city? I wasnt informed...and the snow removal in this town is the pits . Among other things
Not if you are drunk,
