An estimate

Edinburg 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.Building projects $3,000; interest on debt $12,000. With these, the whole budget was $399,000.
About “Other”.57% of Edinburg’s day-to-day spending ($218,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
