You created a committee to work on a budget, yet there was no activity, other than just a basic copy and paste of the previous budget (which I assumed was just a simple template that would be more detailed the following year), and it created this undetailed mess. Budgets need to be WAY more in-depth and take more than 24-hours to create. This is not a budget, but a inept attempt to articulate the multitudes of steps needed to produce a financial plan for our region.
I think this is a fine starting place, but what is any point of having a budget if we don't first know what it means, nor are able to argue over it!
NAY, as we need to continue debate and discussion over this, not just pass something that will be unhelpful to the purpose of what these budgets are for!
The budget is set up in such a way to reflect the sources of numbers that we have, and was created to resemble other extant budgets. There is a baseline which is formed from what our constituent states spend IRL, and acts of the Chamber modify it from there; as it happens the Chamber passes few budget-relevant acts. If you have a better proposal, I would be curious to see it.
