    Dearborn, MI
    Budget

    The City of Dearborn held a public hearing on its proposed 2025–2026 budget as of May 1, 2025, presenting a balanced General Fund budget expected to contribute $230,689 to the fund balance reserve. The budget faces financial challenges including revenue growth falling short of expenditure inflation, state taxation limitations, and rising retirement and debt service obligations, with personnel and non-discretionary spending comprising 79% of general fund uses. Revenue is projected to increase $3.6 million (2.5%), primarily from property tax gains of $1.7 million and increased charges for services of $1.1 million, while expenditures increase $3.6 million (2.4%), largely due to $5.7 million in additional wages and benefits; budget priorities allocate 70% of subsidies to Public Safety, followed by Administrative (11%), Public Works & Facilities (9%), Parks & Recreation (8%), and Economic Development (2%).

  • Oakland Financial Breakdown

    Oakland, CA
    Budget

    Based on fiscal year 2019 audited financial data, Oakland faced severe fiscal strain entering the coronavirus pandemic with a total debt burden of $2.3 billion, equivalent to $17,000 per taxpayer, earning the city a "D" financial grade from Truth in Accounting. The city had only $1.7 billion in assets available to cover $4 billion in bills, creating the $2.3 billion shortfall. Oakland's financial problems stem primarily from unfunded retirement obligations: $1.9 billion in unfunded pension benefits and $927.8 million in unfunded retiree health care benefits out of $6.5 billion in total promised retirement benefits. The report projects Oakland's overall debt will likely increase due to pandemic-related revenue losses and insufficient reserves to weather economic disruptions.
