What Expenditures Would You Cut From Newtown Township's 2022 Preliminary Budget? |
Introduction
The Preliminary 2022 Budget has been "hung"; i.e., advertised to the public, which has 20 days to review the details.
In this revised version of the previously "recommended" budget, the 1.5 mill tax increase has been eliminated and money reallocated from the General Fund reserve will go into the Fire Protection Fund. As a result, the reserve fund will drop to an historic low of 8.6% of expenditures.
Cuts to this budget can still be made in order to get the reserve fund up to a reasonable level to cover unanticipated expenses
This survey asks respondents to select the cuts they would support in order to maintain fire protection while ensuring an adequate reserve fund for unanticipated expenses without dipping further into the General Fund. The list of items to cut in this survey includes many – but NOT all – of the expenditures in the preliminary budget.
