    ·Indianapolis, IN
    Budget

    The Indiana Department of Local Government Finance issued a Report on Expenditures Per Capita on September 18, 2023, compiling 2021 and 2022 financial data from local governments across the state as required by Indiana Code. The report, prepared for the Governor and Indiana General Assembly, analyzes spending per capita across eight categories of local government entities: counties, townships, cities/towns, school corporations, libraries, special districts, conservancy districts, and soil and water conservation districts, with data compiled from the Indiana State Board of Accounts and the Indiana Department of Education. The Department calculated the highest, lowest, median, and average expenditures per capita for each local government type based on the most recent federal decennial census data.

  • 2023-2024 Proposed Budget Summary Introduction

    Seattle, WA
    Budget

    Seattle's 2023-2024 Proposed Budget, the first under Mayor Bruce A. Harrell, totals approximately $7.4 billion in appropriations, including $1.6 billion in General Fund and $294 million from the JumpStart Payroll Expense Tax. This is the first biennial budget since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the city's normal budgeting cycle, and it addresses a significant General Fund deficit while prioritizing housing and homelessness, public safety, access to opportunity, healthy communities, climate and environment, transportation, and good government. Despite 40-year-high inflation, General Fund expenditure growth is held to effectively flat at 0.03% over 2022 levels, with the budget balanced partly through payroll tax revenue and conservative spending measures aimed at replenishing reserves.

  • Summary: Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, Kentucky; General

    Lexington, KY
    Budget

    S&P Global Ratings assigned an 'AA' long-term rating with stable outlook to Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government's $44.5 million series 2022B general obligation bonds, which will finance various capital expenditures and a land conservation program. The bonds are secured by the government's full-faith-and-credit pledge and ad valorem property taxes, subject to Kentucky's constitutional and statutory limitations including a 4% annual growth cap on aggregate property tax revenue. While the county's economic base is recovering from COVID-19 and fiscal 2022 ended with a surplus, long-term challenges remain including rising personnel expenses and pension contribution costs.
