The budget is about you (and you and you)
Monday, May 24, 2021 by Tai Moses
It’s the merry, merry month of May – and that means it’s time to rev up for city budget meetings for Fiscal Year 2021-22. The city of Austin prides itself on a transparent budget development process, and as it plans for the next budget, it really, really wants to hear from Austinites, “to help the city prioritize services that impact how you live, work, play, shop and more.” You can watch a cheerful 2-minute video that explains more about the actually pretty interesting budget process and also take a short survey while you’re at it.
