HatCityBLOG VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: 2010 Education budget ad-hoc committee meeting

04.18.10: Due to requests, this post is bumped to the top


Danbury School Superintendent Sal Pascarella and Finance Director Elio Longo explain their revised budget proposal to members of the city council.


Due to the the large number of requests for the following footage, here's the video from this week's city council education ad-hoc committee.

Due to the fact that the council didn't use their microphones, the sound quality isn't the best. I better copy of the audio will be available on Sunday but since so many of you wanted to see this video, I decided to post the video now.

NOTE: YouTube is still processing this file and the quality of the video should improve by later tonight.

NOTE 2: This post will be updated throughout the day/night with smaller video highlights from the meeting.

VIDEO Complete meeting: (Runtime 1 hour 56 mins)
