Every year, the city makes difficult choices about where to invest tax dollars — from public safety and road repairs to parks and essential services. Budget season is when those decisions take shape. The city budget is more than numbers — it’s a fiscal statement of what Biddeford values and how much we value it.

Recent incidents in Bangor, Biddeford, Hallowell, Portland and South Portland have laid bare an unsettling truth: No community is immune from the insidious reach of hate. These unprovoked attacks, which have targeted our friends, neighbors and leaders based on race, religion, sexual orientation and more, remind us of the latent prejudices that, while often concealed, are increasingly manifesting openly in our state.
