An estimate

Georgetown Township didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Payments to other governments $25,000. With these, the whole budget was $70,000.
About “Other”.100% of Georgetown Township’s day-to-day spending ($45,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
