Many cities, of course, depend on local government aid (St. Paul has $28 million riding on this issue. Ely has $777,000 to think about.), but others probably don’t. Can Chickamaw Beach live without the $438 it’s due to receive later this month? What about Funkley, Minnesota? It gets $73. The population of Funkley as of June 2007: 16.
