The report’s a bit inaccurate. The city budget contains a large number of accounts that are ‘dedicated’ in nature. Gas tax moneys, for instance, can’t be used to pay for anything but streets. Same with sewer fees, water bills, etc. The percentage figure quoted is actually the percentage of the General Fund, which is the fund available for the operation of city government. Sixty is sort of a normal figure in that context, I actually thought Vallejo’s public safety number was higher than 66.
