When Citizens Make a Budget, Can They Look Beyond Their Own Neighborhoods?

When Citizens Make a Budget, Can They Look Beyond Their Own Neighborhoods?

Long Beach needs to involve our residents in the same process. I am working on putting together a process by which residents of the 5th can at least provide input on what infrastructure projects need to be funded in the 5th. Because we have so many (more than other districts because of our geographic size), I really feel that residents need to weigh in about where the money should be spent.
