Bridgeport City Council approved a nearly $628 million municipal budget Monday, funding new positions and giving the schools $500,000 more than Ganim proposed.
Bridgeport officials have free access to a suite at the new concert amphitheater. With tickets starting at about $100 for many shows, this is raising questions.
Council members are aiming to quickly enact a pair of significant changes to lengthen the budget process by two weeks and protect their authority to vote on it.
