Budgets are value statements, right?
Take #STLCity's FY21 projections:
Budget: $1,116,375,497
General Fund Budget: $495,061,453
(Most local taxes & fees are collected and used to support services in the GF. The City’s Earning tax = main source of revenue for GF.)

If we were to take $100 to represent #STLCity spending from the General Fund budget, the breakdown would be:
$37.15 to police, $9.36 to the courts, $6.16 to the two jails, and $0.27 to human services.
Is that how you want your tax dollars spent?
