“40% of Uvalde's city budget goes to police.”

Verdict
Mixedby FactCheck.org
2022-06-03Reasoning
FactCheck.org found the 40% figure refers to Uvalde's general fund — not total budget. Police spending is about 37% of the general fund but only 17% of total city operating expenditures once enterprise funds, debt service, and other accounts are included.
