The city of Colorado Springs continues to struggle with fixing its budget crisis. This week one city council member came up with an idea. Colorado Springs City Councilman Tom Gallagher tossed out the idea to cut the salaries of city employees.

The idea is to slice into the $145 million dollars they plan to spend on payroll next year.

It is one of many ideas the city is entertaining. City officials say everything is on the table and they'll review any idea that might help dig them out of their current city budget shortfall.

"What I see with this is a city on the edge," said Kara Whitney who is a Colorado Springs resident.

The city also released a 50 page list consisting of all their employees, their names, their titles and how much they make.

The city says they're trying to formulate ideas and ways to get back into the black. "I think there needs to be some out of the box thinking," said Whitney.

Here's what some had to say about the proposed idea of cutting city employee salaries. "I think it's crap," said Ryan Randall who is a Colorado Springs resident.

"I don't think the employees should suffer because of that," said Rick Josiah who is also a Colorado Springs resident.

"I just see that as a short term solution to a long term problem," said Whitney.

67 city employees make at least $100,000 a year.

City council will decide whether or not to slash city employee salaries come November 9th.
