Should be a pretty simple exercise...if projected tax revenues = planned expenditures then it’s balanced.

“Should be a pretty simple exercise...if projected tax revenues = planned expenditures then it’s balanced.”

Should be simple, yes. But look at all the work you’ve made for lawyers in one little sentence:

What constitutes a projection?
What constitutes a plan?
What constitutes an expenditure?
What is and is not revenue?
What is and is not a tax?

Wiggle room galore.
