Is this article just a press release by city government? Is there no one else who is interested in some actual data, as opposed to the fluff in the article? "more than $31 million budget", how much more? Is it to difficult to actually add a decimal point and a couple of more significant figures to the number? How does the budget compare to last years expenditures or the years before? Taxpayers should be provided with actual data, not press release fluff.
