The Lansing City Council approved a 2015 fiscal year budget totaling $118 million on Monday night. The budget debate was less intense than in recent years since the city did not face a deficit. The document was essentially the same one proposed by Mayor Virg Bernero back in March.City council member Carol Wood discusses business such as a planned move by the Lansing Police Department and what’s in next year’s budget.
