Fiscal projection information

Mr. Lynam of the Finance Committee maintains a file of current information about town finances which he calls the MOB file. It is periodically updated when new information is received from the Budget Director. This file is in Microsoft Excel format and if you have that software, you can open it. I have uploaded the file to a server and you can download it from here. Much of the data that I cite on this blog or that others in town reference can be found in this file. It is widely distributed...

... to others (the cast of Ben Hur in Mr. Lynam's words) and contains tabs for revenue and expenditure projections, reserve fund transfers, and many other useful things. This is NOT the official information on any of the town's financial information, only the Budget Director can issue official information, but is a very useful file. When opened, it will say that the file includes macros, you can click to disable them. The file will then ask about updates, click no.
When you close it, it will ask you if you want to save the changes, click no.
