Does anyone know what a budget is? Does anyone understand what a budget does? I don’t think our elected officials do. When you have a budget you decide what the most important needs are, then if there’s anything left you can save some for emergencies, and maybe you might use some for things you just want. But, with our governing body they spend what they want, and when they are out of money, they just take more of your money to spend. Not on needs, but on wants.
