    Hello! Have you had a chance to read GFOA's new Target-Based Budgeting paper? Target-Based Budgeting (TBB) helps governments manage finances by setting clear spending limits for core services and letting departments request extra funding for additional needs.

    We'd love to hear about your experiences with target-based budgeting or using decision packages. What works well? What are the benefits of this approach? What are the challenges?
