Unusual Year Produces Unusual Budget for Yuma County Published: 27 May 2021 27 May 2021
Yuma, Arizona - This has been a very unusual year for Yuma County, and it is reflected in the budget that has been presented to the Board of Supervisors. A recent headline in the Yuma Sun said, “$464 Million proposed county budget 58% over last year”. This headline motivated County staff to provide a fuller explanation to the public about the budget, due to one-time funds the County is receiving which caused an unusual increase from this current fiscal year.
This year is an unusual budget year not only for Yuma County, but for our neighboring cities and towns as well, as previously reported by the Yuma Sun. For example, the City of Yuma’s proposed FY 2021-22 budget is $522 million, which is more than 100% over its current year $249 million budget. Yuma County’s proposed FY 2021-22 budget of $464 million is 58% over its current year $289 million budget.
Thorpe said from next year schools would be encouraged to teach local histories and there was a danger that only the three schools on Rekohu Chatham Islands would teach their students about Moriori history.
The trust s chairperson Maui Solomon said the Government had an obligation to ensure Moriori history was learned by children throughout New Zealand. I think there s a strong case to make that greater resources and effort need to be put in to correcting the historical record for Moriori because it s been so badly blighted by predominantly Pākehā historians and the education system in New Zealand for the last hundred years, Solomon said.
