Field notes
The budget dispatch treats city spending as a sequence of documents rather than a single June vote: it identifies the preliminary budget, executive budget, Council hearings, and adoption as four checkpoints. It also points readers to the Council finance division, OMB, NYC Open Data, and MTA materials, and explains that comparing versions—and checking the commitment plan’s year column—can reveal gaps between announced projects and expected spending. The homepage also includes a notice board with dated items.
