city budget
Town's spending plan
A city budget is the annual financial plan for a municipal government, outlining projected revenues and expenditures.
It allocates funds across departments—police, fire, parks, sanitation—and reflects political priorities: The mayor's city budget increased funding for affordable housing.
Budget debates often become contentious as competing interests vie for limited resources.
