Summary
Bismarck’s 2027 budget hits $540 million with strategic cuts—trimming one police spot, slashing airport ads, and reducing worker pay raises by half a percent—while still prioritizing public safety at nearly half the budget. A standout move? $500K earmarked to fight the emerald ash borer, drawn from existing reserves, showing the city’s commitment to protecting its tree canopy alongside fiscal responsibility.
