An estimate

Green Brook 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.Building projects $27,000; interest on debt $9,000. With these, the whole budget was $9.5 million.
About “Other”.34% of Green Brook Township’s day-to-day spending ($3.2 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
