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.
