Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The budget proposal reflects a shift from the previous year, when the city faced a $31 million shortfall and cut staff. The increased funding, largely supported by sales tax revenue, supports infrastructure projects, such as a dedicated pothole crew costing $370,000 for four full-time employees.
