Boston is legally required to balance its budget each year, meaning on paper revenues must match expenditures. This does not mean the city has an ongoing budget surplus. Boston carries long-term liabilities which are not reflected in annual balanced budgets. https://content.boston.gov/sites/default/files/file/2024/10/1A-Volume%201%20-%20Executive%20Summary.pdf? https://patch.com/massachusetts/boston/boston-s-financial-health-declines-earning-d-grade

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1898023923423289771
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
