\nSPLOST VIII and TSPLOST are Capital Projects Funds which are expected to get $26 million and $3.5 million in FY 2023.
\nThere are other Capital Projects Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Special Revenue Funds.

\nOf General Fund Expenditures, 38.34% goes to Public Safety, i.e., Sheriff,
