Suggested questions for providing feedback:
• Considering healthcare and other significant cost increases, what do you think is a reasonable range for tax rate increase?
• Should we reduce services through workforce attrition, and what reductions in services would you be willing to accept in exchange?
• What do you want to see changed in the FY27 budget?
