Officials expect a huge crowd for tonight’s Methuen City Council budget hearing at City Hall.
Mayor William Manzi plans to tell councilors that he has reached one-year agreements with seven of the city’s nine municipal employee unions. The police patrolmens union has not reached an agreement with him, so Manzi plans to cut 20 cops, he says.
