Time to Speak Up for Your City Projects and Services

by Michael van Baker on September 27, 2010

Mayor McGinn is giving a public budget address today at noon at the Rainier Beach Community Center. It won’t be particularly cheery; the city has a $67 million general fund deficit for 2011, and that’s after substantial cuts have already been made throughout the recession (which, we remind you, is over).

“Considerable input from residents is needed to develop a budget that best reflects the needs of our city,” says the City Council, so they are inviting you to vote online or attend one of these three public hearings in North, South or Central Seattle:
