By David SloneTimes-UnionWARSAW – Warsaw Common Council began hearing the proposed 2027 budget presentations Monday evening, Aug. 3, from city departments. I’ve had a lot of conversations with the mayor about this and probably some council members as well,” Skinner replied. “Cutting money out of this year’s budget and next year’s budget … you’re still two years away, you’re still going to have a huge gap. Because all of a sudden, you’re going to be holding up $250 million in revenue, taxes, that otherwise wasn’t there. The Building and Planning proposed budget for 2027 is $1,049,260, or a 2% increase over 2026’s budget of $1,023,035.
