  • 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.

  • 10 :4-6 "Senator Byron M. Baer Open Public Meetings Act." 1.

    Newark, NJ
    Other

    This document excerpts the Senator Byron M. Baer Open Public Meetings Act, a New Jersey law (originally enacted in 1975 and amended in 2006) that establishes the public's right to attend and observe meetings of public bodies. The Legislature declares that public transparency is vital to democratic functioning and establishes state policy requiring advance notice and public access to all meetings where public business is discussed or decided, except in limited circumstances where the public interest or personal privacy would be endangered. The act defines "public body" as multi-member voting bodies organized under state law with authority to spend public funds or affect individual rights, while explicitly excluding informal advisory bodies, executive meetings with subordinates, and specific entities such as the judiciary and political party organizations.

  • How to request a public record in Cleveland

    Cleveland, OH
    Other

    This explainer by Signal Cleveland Staff (April 12, 2026) describes how residents can request public records from Cleveland government agencies. Public records—including emails, contracts, police body camera video, and spending records—are legally accessible in Ohio and enable residents to monitor tax spending and hold officials accountable. Records are available through three channels: online databases (City Hall legislation, court records, county property data), in-person at City Hall (601 Lakeside Ave.), or by filing a request through the Cleveland Public Records Center, which requires creating an account and specifying a time frame and department. The Cleveland Metropolitan School District maintains a separate public records request system. Effective requests should be specific and time-bound rather than broad.
