⚠️ A $500,000 Deficit in a $5 Million Budget? We're Sounding the Alarm

In small-town government, every dollar counts. That’s why we’re raising serious questions about a proposed city budget that’s half a million dollars in the red—a 10% shortfall based on projected revenues.

In our latest report at The Hansford Informer we shine a light on this troubling proposal and what it could mean for the community:
 ➡️ Will essential services be cut?
 ➡️ Are reserves being drained with no plan to replenish them?
 ➡️ Is this a one-time issue—or the start of a trend?

Our deep dive highlights the stakes, examines the risks, and lays out what citizens and city council members should be demanding in terms of transparency and accountability.

📢 This isn’t just a budget issue. It’s a matter of local trust and fiscal responsibility.
