It’s fair to say Frankfort Mayor Chris McBarnes was a little taken aback this week when an auditor declared his city was on the course to a structural budget deficit in the next few years.

Also on today’s program, we talk about the future of Frankfort’s city hall. The city’s young mayor wants to renovate Old Stoney, but that’s a pricey task. Today on Ask The Mayor, we find out how much a few million dollars’ worth of improvements will buy.
