Inflation concerns were top of mind this week as Ontario City Council unanimously approved a 2023 temporary spending plan. According to Richland Source, the chair of council's finance committee, said the city is still on track to end 2022 with a $300,000 increase over projections in revenue and it is expected to end 2022 about $1.5 million under budget in terms of spending, but there is still concern about rising costs in 2023 after seeing inflation across the country hit 40-year highs in 2022.
