An estimate

Haddon 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 $320,000; interest on debt $863,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $17 million.
About “Other”.32% of Haddon Township’s day-to-day spending ($4.5 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
