An estimate

Monango 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.With the enterprises, the whole budget was $26,000.
About “Other”.32% of Monango’s day-to-day spending ($6,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
