Budget madness

The real meat and potatoes of the city's budget debate gets underway this week.

Tonight, there was a public meeting on the budget and I'll post my video footage tomorrow. I debated on whether or not I would comment on my concerns with the budget at the meeting but decided to make my case against portions of the mayor's proposal here online.

Here's the budget schedule for this week.
