The budget process, however, with its big numbers, multiple acronyms, and counterintuitive rules, can be confusing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA book in the Local Government Board Builders series, this guide is intended to remove the mystery of the budget process and to equip North Carolina's city and county governing bodies with the tools they need to actively participate in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSee the Local Government Board Builders Series webpage for other books in the series and related School of Government publications (https: \/\/www.sog.unc.edu\/resource-series\/local-government-board-builders-series-0).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory S.
