An estimate

Medford 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 $193,000; interest on debt $822,000. With these, the whole budget was $18.3 million.
About “Other”.28% of Medford Township’s day-to-day spending ($4.9 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
