I was reading a city budget report and found out my town spends more on lawn care for municipal buildings than it does on the public library.
Has anyone else stumbled on a local fact that made you question where the money actually goes?

Ugh, that's why I started going to budget meetings.

Found out my town bought a single decorative clock for a traffic circle that cost more than the annual budget for the park benches. Makes you wonder if they're just trying to pretty up the place so you don't notice the potholes. My own budget priorities aren't much better though, I spent more on fancy coffee last month than I did on laundry.
