By the numbers: What's in the Richmond mayor's budget

Mayor Levar Stoney's proposed budget includes big pay increases for city employees, new fire stations and extended library hours.

Of note: Stoney's plan would also increase the cost of living in the city.

• While the proposal keeps local taxes level, it would increase the city's gas, water and sewer bills by an estimated $106 a year for the average residential customer.

🏫 $215 million for school construction and repairing Fox Elementary.
