Discussion: budgets

Using the government you selected in the Module One discussion, locate and post a link to the latest adopted budget in your initial post. Additionally, address the following:

• Describe the type of budget (i.e., line item, program, performance).
• Discuss some of the highlights of the budget.
• Based on what you expected after reading Chapter Four, what was different about your budget?
