Considering your knowledge of how local and state governments function, what do you think the next step is when a budget fails?

A. The public is given the option to propose a new budget.

B. The council reviews the budget and makes some changes.

C. The council discusses the budget changes with the state government.

D. The council takes the budget back and proposes a new one the next year.
