An estimate

Mohawk 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 $363,000; payments to other governments $6,000. With these, the whole budget was $1.8 million.
About “Other”.25% of Mohawk’s day-to-day spending ($351,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
