I think we will have a balanced budget. I don't think we have a balanced capital improvement fund. |
Originally, we were going to borrow $4.9 million. The loan we are asking for now is up to $2 million. |
We expect it (increased sales taxes) will continue that way through the year. With Mardi Gras, as well as Festival International, we will see only more people here, not just Katrina residents here, but more visitors. |
We revised the budget based upon September and October taxes that had been collected. When I am looking at this December report, we are another $1.5 million over the revised budget for September and October figures. |
