新奥尔良市长LaToya Cantrell提出了2026年15.9亿美元的预算,包括削减2亿美元和7 300万美元新收入,这些收入来自增加的卫生费、财产税转折,以及对旅游和服务征收半钱的销售税。 New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell has proposed a $1.59 billion 2026 budget, including $200 million in cuts and $73 million in new revenue from a sanitation fee increase, property tax roll-forward, and a half-penny sales tax on tourism and services. 该计划解决由于税收下降、联邦赠款减少和大流行病供资结束而预计的财政短缺问题,官员们警告说,未来援助可能减少20%。 The plan addresses a projected fiscal shortfall due to declining tax revenues, reduced federal grants, and end of pandemic funding, with officials warning of potential 20% drops in future aid. 如果不提高收费,卫生设施服务将减少26%。 Without the fee hike, sanitation services would be cut by 26%. 该市面临6 500万至1亿美元的短缺,部分归咎于以往的预算决定。 The city faces a $65–$100 million shortfall, partly blamed on past budget decisions. 路易斯安那州的立法审计员正在审查财务情况,市议会在采取行动之前将等待调查结果。 The Louisiana Legislative Auditor is reviewing finances, and the City Council will wait for findings before acting. 预算听证会于10月14日开始,预计12月1日前进行最后表决。 Budget hearings begin October 14, with a final vote expected by December 1.
