Ramsey County prepares for "Big Shift" in federal funding
An update from Ramsey County officials on the impacts of federal funding changes
Ramsey County is preparing to make difficult budget decisions as the burden of funding community services is shifted from federal partners to counties and local communities.
In a presentation to Roseville City Council on July 21, County Commissioner Mary Jo McGuire and County Manager Ling Becker outlined how changes in federal funding will impact Ramsey County services for cities like Roseville.
"We have significant federal cost shifts happening. What is anticipated to be about $1 trillion in cost shifts over the next 10 years. We’re talking about a significant reorientation of who’s responsible for paying for things in our current ecosystem," Becker said to the city council.
