# Baker Tilly advisor says West Terre Haute is about a month behind in its 2027 budget process

## What happened
A Baker Tilly municipal advisor presented the town’s 2027 budget overview and a multiyear fiscal sustainability plan. The advisor said the town was about a month behind in the budget process. A council member separately said the budget was due on the 28th; this report does not attribute that deadline to the advisor. The advisor estimated next year’s general-fund revenue at about $778,000, compared with this year’s maximum levy of $857,000, and said circuit-breaker losses were about 36% of the levy.

## The outcome
No vote was taken; the council received the budget-process presentation.
