New budget data coming soon #5

Open MeriwetherK opened 10 years ago

FYI, the City will adopt a new budget by the end of this month (they had a handshake deal last Thursday. Should be adopted this week). So new data will be coming in shortly.

So, the current data we have is the "Executive Budget" for FY 2015. Am I correct in assuming that the new budget will you reference above will be the "Modified Budget" for FY2015? This has some implications as there are actually two sets of values for each FY... really the Modified Budget is the one that counts, right?

You have BdB's proposed budget (the executive budget). The budget coming out this week will be the adopted budget. Not sure where you are getting the term "modified" from. Here is a link to the documents from FY2014 adopted budget: http://www.nyc.gov/html/omb/html/publications/finplan06_13.shtml We don't know if BdB will change the layout/format for this year. Either way, we like to have data from all these releases, so its not a lost cause.

Sorry, I meant "adopted"... some governments call it "modified".

FYI, I'm working on the ss from the adopted budget for a school project and it was actually secured so I had to unsecure it first. --Miranda N.
