History
Although the founder and first editor of The Budget from 1890 though 1913 was Amish Mennonite John C. Miller, nicknamed "Budget John", the paper was not founded as an Anabaptist paper but as a local paper in Sugarcreek, Ohio.[1]: 189 Amish Mennonite minister Samuel H. Miller was the second editor through 1920. He was followed by S.A. Smith until 1930, when Smith's son George R. Smith took over until 1969. Keith Rathbun, formerly of the Cleveland Scene alternative weekly, served as publisher from 2000 - 2016. Milo G. Miller [2] took the lead as publisher in 2017.

National edition
Despite its name, the national edition is published not only nationwide but in several other countries in the Americas as well as overseas.
