An estimate

Hampton 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 $4,000; interest on debt $9,000; payments to other governments $6,000. With these, the whole budget was $3.3 million.
About “Other”.25% of Hampton Township’s day-to-day spending ($834,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
