City Council Budget Hearing
Mayor Mike McGinn’s proposed city budget may be significantly less grim than previous budgets, which featured tens of millions in cuts, but it’s still a good idea to show up and voice support for your favorite city programs (no more weeklong library closures!) or to learn more about this year’s budget priorities (is a schmancy new gunfire detection system worth $1 million over two years?) For a quick primer, check out PubliCola’s overview of the mayor’s proposal here.
City Council Budget Committee Public Hearing, Thurs, Oct 4, 5:30 pm, City Hall, 600 4th Ave, Second Floor
