From the transcript
For your discussion. I'd like to weigh in on this one as well. I support option D. My logic behind supporting this option is this budget is balanced. It provides continuity for all borough services, represents an $800,000 increase in school funding, and it also increases our MAPTOR capacity by approximately a half a million dollars for next fiscal year. So given that we are budgeting efficiently while still providing services to the community, I'm reminded of all of the recent increases our community is having to absorb.
