Mayor Sylvester Turner says the budget is futuristic. The city's controller said he sees a lot of positives but not calling it futuristic.
The latest proposal is outpacing the current budget by an additional $500,000, but cuts could be possible if the city doesn't figure out spending.as Houston's mayor. Coming in at a massive $6.2 billion, it outpaces the current budget by an additional $500,000.
The city's chief financial officer, Controller Chris Brown, said he sees a lot of positives in the budget. But he's not calling it futuristic. The mayor's fix to that problem for 2024 is to eliminate the projected $160 million spending deficit by investing $160 million of COVID-19 relief funds to plug the holes in the 2024 budget. Where the COVID relief funding is going has to be decided by the end of 2024, and it must be spent by 2026. So if Houston continues to outspend its revenue after 2026, drastic cuts may be made.
