While Johnston defended the leak as necessary to break council’s secrecy, Mayor Farkas called it a “wish list” and stressed the figures are unapproved. Other council members echoed Farkas, urging restraint and even calling for a code of conduct. The full budget won’t be released until November 10 — but the debate is already heating up, forcing tough questions about fiscal responsibility and public trust.
