Denver's budget crisis is easing, with no layoffs planned for 2027. Mayor Mike Johnston's proposed budget shows a slight increase in the General Fund, keeping pace with revenue growth. While some areas like public safety and homelessness funding will see boosts, most departments will remain flat. The city is recovering from significant cuts and layoffs over the past two years. Despite the improved outlook, long-term spending growth is projected to outpace revenue.
