The tax provides more than $23 billion per year in revenue for federal highway and public transit programs. The federal gas tax has been in place, in one way or another, since 1919 and was last raised in 1993.

"Over 50 per cent of this year's growth was driven by municipalities, which includes local police and fire services whose work continues to protect Ontario communities."

I was alarmed and made a point to the board that the review refers to Microsoft Copilot as being used to evaluate the returns. I don't think you can rely on artificial intelligence to do that. It's just wrong.

As the Federal student aid portfolio soars to nearly $1.7 trillion and with nearly a quarter of student loan borrowers in default, Americans know that the Department of Education has failed to effectively manage and deliver these critical programs. By leveraging Treasury's world-renowned expertise in finance and economic policy, we are confident that American students, borrowers, and taxpayers will finally have functioning programs after decades of mismanagement.

Through Community Facilities Districts (CFD), Municipal Utility Districts (MUD), Public Improvement Districts (PID), Community Development Districts (CDD) and reimbursement districts (RD), builders can potentially shift infrastructure costs off their balance sheets and onto special districts that homebuyers ultimately absorb through property taxes without potentially adding debt to the builder's books.

In principle, all the departments are supportive of the Shared Services Strategy. However, HM Treasury and the Department for Education (DfE), who currently have modern ERPs and are both in the Matrix cluster, have indicated they would welcome more information through the business case about likely costs for them before they assess that onboarding is feasible and value for money.

MONTEREY - The city of Monterey declared a fiscal emergency to place new tax measures on the ballot this summer. The Monterey City Council met Tuesday, continuing the discussion of the city's $10 million deficit that they are trying to rectify through the 2026-2027 fiscal year budget, which starts in July. The council voted unanimously to declare a fiscal emergency, which city officials said was needed in order to place new tax measures on the ballot.

Like [Keir] Starmer, the chancellor is also fighting for her political life whether because the prime minister himself falls, or chooses to move his chancellor in a reset reshuffle. Against that backdrop, Reeves hopes to project calm and competence next week, after a tumultuous 18 months.

Despite some idealistic intentions, that framework is in fact what put Muni in the financial hole in the first place. Working from a scarcity mindset, namely trying to preserve an already pilfered service, is a losing battle. To guarantee the service that citizens and workers expect from a city like San Francisco requires a committed vision of the future, one that centers Muni as the public good that it is.

The Portland Housing Bureau has found additional unspent dollars in its coffers, adding to the previous $21 million it found through an audit last year. It is unclear exactly how much money is in the fund, but Council President Jamie Dunphy called councilors over the weekend to tell them they would soon learn of the specifics of what was found in the Housing Investment Fund. He told the Mercury February 2 that he did not yet know how much total funding was available.

Setting aside a designated day to switch utility providers will pay dividends in the long run

This is not an argument against continuing to line things up just so, of course. It just means that the very orderly person will over time become a very familiar face to the people at The Container Store, to the point where they might remark to each other during their breaks about having seen him, again, purchasing more of those stackable, breakable containers that he's always getting.

Understanding the difference in purpose Unlike private businesses, which exist to make a profit, public institutions are designed to create impact - especially social and economic outcomes that benefit everyone, not just paying customers. A public agency doesn't measure its success in revenue or margins, but in how much it improves lives, builds equity and maintains public trust. This doesn't mean budgets and spending don't matter - they absolutely do - but money is not the goal. It's the tool.

My goal was to only pay bills. I didn't want to buy anything extra, but I knew things always come up, like my son needing something for school. I told myself ahead of time that I could "break the freeze" for absolute necessities only. Over the 30 days, copays for doctor's appointments and prescription costs were the only unexpected purchases I made.

Let me get straight to the point: Three years ago, I was spending $200 a month on coffee shop visits while telling myself I couldn't afford to max out my retirement contributions. The irony wasn't lost on me when I finally sat down with a spreadsheet and saw where my money was actually going. That wake-up call came right after watching my dad get passed over for yet another promotion, despite working harder than anyone else in his department.

The total proposed 2026 operating budget amounts to $18.9 billion, with 31 per cent being covered by property taxes and 24 per cent made up of federal and provincial funding. The rest is made up of smaller measures, including rate programs (12 per cent), transit fares (six per cent), and reserves (nine per cent). Chow submitted her budget proposal on Feb. 1, based on a city staff proposal put forward on Jan. 8.

Earlier in the day, Democrats blocked a spending bill using a filibuster in order to force the Trump administration into negotiations over its violent deportation campaign in cities across the U.S. The raids have involved DHS agents - most notably from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) - terrorizing and abducting residents, with immigration agents killing two people in Minneapolis this month.

Under Executive Order 12, according to a press statement from the city, each agency will now have five days to appoint an existing senior employee as Chief Savings Officer and grant them the relevant staff and information. This employee will have 45 days to complete a comprehensive assessment of their agency's spending, analyzing the most expensive programs to understand major drivers of cost, as well as the highest-performing programs, to try to replicate successes.

US president says massive' fraud has caused budget imbalance, but calculations do not support this. United States President Donald Trump has claimed that unearthing and ending fraud nationwide would eliminate the country's deficit. In particular, Trump has highlighted alleged public services fraud by Somalis in Minnesota and also said there is fraud in many other places. If we stop this fraud, this massive fraud, we're going to have a balanced budget, Trump said on Tuesday during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club.

"If we don't get what we need [in terms of extra government help] then a Section 114 Notice will come in, which is effective bankruptcy. We'd then get administrators come in, in effect - they'd then make a plan for where the money gets spent in Worcestershire. It would be a catastrophe. We're going to have to halt projects that were put into the budget by the previous administration, things that maybe were 'nice to have', but we can't afford them."
