Aurora Faces $14M Budget Shortfall | Chicago News

Aurora’s 2027 budget faces a $14 million shortfall, but officials are watching for potential boosts from delayed sales tax and fall gaming revenue. Last year’s deficit led to deep cuts, and while the city hasn’t fully recovered, staff are now reviewing departmental spending, staffing, and capital projects to balance the books long-term. Rising costs could push the gap to nearly $29 million by 2031. Bright spots include anticipated casino tax revenue and a new census aimed at recouping lost state and federal funds. City council will review updated figures in September, with the full budget proposal due October 15. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
