Someone commented on an earlier post about the 2017 budget draft link, showing the budget draft so far that will eventually be presented at Town meeting.

Looking at the last budget versus actual received from town hall then looking at the latest budget draft version, under the revenue tab, a question arises;

Under the FY2016 budget, passed at town meeting shows total revenue at $13,377,934.00
Under the budget versus actual revenue sheet (s), it shows total revenue at $13,511,785.00

A difference of $134,851.00, which should cause one to wonder how this will or can affect budget presentations moving forward? Remember the results when the numbers on paper did not match for the FY2014 budget. Whether there is a mistake in copying numbers, addition or unreported figures, it would seem the most important thing to do is look at this and get it corrected so the house does not tilt again.

    below are actual numbers from FY16 passed budget at ATM

    13,458,369 Expenses
    13,522,977 Revenue
    64,608 Tranferred to OPEB at STM in NOV

    At ATM we had a balanced budget of 13,522,977 but on the FY17 budget this all changed by TA HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
