If you expect firefighting budgets to go up every year, maybe ask why. Why are fires more of a concern every year?
If you don't expect that, then seeing the budget go down sometimes should not be a concern.
Whoa nice, thanks for the advice. I'll share it at the next city council. If you're not aware, Los Angeles is literally on like 5 different fires right now. Given all the fires we've had here in LA in recent years, our mayor decided it was a good thing during an era of increasingly more frequent climate disasters to slash our fire budget to fund the cops.
