From the transcript
We'll all listen here. Okay, I'm just gonna do a little overview of our fiscal year '27 budget, and if anyone has any questions, just chime in, or if department heads, if you have anything you want to say that you think I might be skipping over that you think they should know, please just interrupt me. We're going to go through the general fund first, like always, and then talk about borrowed debts and school funding. We are going to have a few new slides. I'm going to talk about senior sales tax a little bit and how that's looking with the removal of the exemption.
