Friends! The Mayor's office wants to get feed back from YOU about the budget! Be warned thought- you have to write in PILOTs and ending the abatement and they make you choose between cutting spending OR Raising taxes, and the taxes they propose to raise are all individual taxes, not Corporate or PILOTs. You can however defund the police in this budget game. I recommend making ample use of the comments boxes.
