Erie County Executive Brenton Davis is refusing to certify the availability of the funds, which, procedurally, must be done before council approves a supplemental appropriation.
The Erie County Executive Davis administration says the late posting was due to an "oversight." But past and present Democrats on County Council say it signals a lack of transparency.
The ongoing disagreement over the size of the 2023 budget is preventing the Erie County controller from conducting a proper audit of the county's finances.
