Where do these policy options come from?

The Budget Challenge is a budget balancing simulation. Budget amounts for each policy option are estimates based on preliminary budget targets developed by the Mayor in anticipation of a $216 million deficit for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013-14.  For more information, please view the Mayor’s FY 2013-14 Budget Policy Letter, which directed City Departments to submit budget proposals that meet preliminary reduction targets.
