How is that possible when they're always so wise and prudent in spending taxpayer dollars? This is a real mystery

Maybe they can raise taxes even more to cover it.

Adjust the budget and eliminate the shortfall. Most families do this.

I am here now and it is not a fun place. Traffic sucks and it is a dump unless you are in the hills. Hopefully I will never come back.

ETA: oh, and in and out is grossly overrated.

It amazes me, it’s not that hard to forecast tax revenues and your expenses over time. I could see it being of in the millions due to optimistic forecasts and some unexpected expenses, but a billion is a huge shortfall.

Do the people that lost their homes due to the fire still have to pay property tax?

Let them default on the Olympic Games! Can’t be any worse than France’s paper hits and no air conditioning for athletes right?
