Your Money at Work
We can do almost anything. It all comes down to money--your money. Depending on the economy, deciding what happens and what does not can look like an episode of Shark Tank, or Chopped. We also don’t know yet how coronavirus will affect our economy and revenue into the next two years.
The draft budget is now available to review (see Documents in the sidebar). Please take a look, follow along the conversation at meetings, provide your input below or at scheduled Public Hearings.
