Please note that the proposed spending for 2026 is still higher than 2025, though the increase is very small. Only in government is having a smaller budget increase considered a cut.

Inflation means this budget buys LESS than it did last year.
Citizenship in the city increased more than the budget did year over year…. Moot argument when the budgets is less to do more
