American Government: Congress and budgets

Today you will be balancing the local budget for Bend much the same way that you did for the federal budget yesterday. You may work with a partner to complete you budget. Each person/group of two (Yes, two is the cutoff) should e-mail me a copy of their budget proposal that they can copy and paste into a word document. I would also like you to answer the following questions in a few short paragraphs:

What cuts did you make? Why?

What positive and negative affect do you think those cuts will have? Why?

What revenues did you increase? Why?

What positive and negative affect do you think those revenues will have? Why

Take a look at the "Needs" section and read the justifications and stipulations for each category. Are there any other needs that you can come up with that for the city of Bend, or additions you would like to see?
