The city is asking; are you answering?

By Tim Bremel ( Contact )   August 24, 2011

That's right. You can "vote" and have your say on what's important to you. The city's Budget Advice Scorecard is a golden opportunity for residents to voice their opinions on a variety of non-critical expenditures and revenue generation opportunities.

We'll highlight the survey on the 8/25 edition of Your Talk Show.

This is a rare opportunity for residents to get involved in the planning process of the city. I hope to see the site receive 40,000 responses. If not, I hope I never hear the words, "no one asked us" from residents.

I applaud the city's effort to put some power back in the people's hands. How about you?
