The article states, "City spending, however, has increased by as much as 30 percent since 2010". In 2010 city budget expenses were $113,417,566. the 2019 budget is $150,932,468 for a 33% increase.
However that percent does not tell you the whole story. I more important figure is to look at the growth in local tax dollars allocated to the city budget over the same time period. In 2010 that amount was $78,525,638. For schools the amount was $123,968,468.
Today the city amount is $112,067,997 for a total increase of 42.7% or $33,542,359 increase.
Today the school amount is $123,982,963 for a total dollar increase of $14,495.
