Keep your eye on the budget process

     The cycle for the Town budget has begun.  Your Budget Recommendation Committee will soon be hard at work for our benefit.  Their work is clearly cut out for them to ferret out the hidden peas and to try to make apples to apples comparisons as the Town Manager again plays his sleight of hand games.
     As has been his habit he moves items from revolving funds to line items to muddy the waters and items from line item to warrant to obscure a real budget increase.  The budget increase at present appears to be 3.4%, but is it really?  Too bad a default budget has not been presented as it would give one an apples to apples comparison.
     Stay tuned to this blog and we'll do our best to sort the budget out for you.
