Bureaucrats and Politicians are being rewarded with palatial offices, expensive equipment, and never-ending funding. 

The City of McGregor is no exception.

The population and geography of McGregor have not changed that much in 50 years, but the cost to live here certainly has. The condition of the Streets is negatively affecting individual property values and the City seems to be oblivious to the obvious needs of the majority.

For years, McGregor people have wondered how a community with a revenue of 10 million dollars could afford so many simultaneous “improvements.

“For years people have been asking where did the City find the money for all those new City offices, City vehicles, City equipment, and City employee salaries, wages, and benefits?

Have you noticed the City has borrowed millions and spent a small fortune for City improvements?  But, what seems to be improved are the City Offices, the City Vehicles, the City Equipment, and the City Salaries Wages and Benefits. 

Let’s follow the money.

The question becomes: “How are all these City Improvements funded? “
There is only “so much money” available the City for their annual spending Budget.

The 3 primary sources of City Funding are the GENERAL FUND, the WATER FUND, and the SEWER FUND, followed by AIRPORT, CEMETARY, COURT, and HOTEL FUNDS.   Fiscal Year – 2019 Budget Summary.
