Citizens for Civic Renewal

Building the Citizen Budget

CUT POLICE 20%, RAISE TAXES! Or close health clinics and rec centers! So say some Cincinnatians when asked how to eliminate a $51 million City deficit in 2010. Afraid that a service important to YOU will be cut? City Council wants to know what you value most, so show up at 9 a.m. on Saturday June 5th at the Cintas Center to help save the programs you need. Because you'll talk in small groups of citizens, everyone has a voice, everyone will be heard--and Council members have promised to listen. Remember--a $51 million deficit will affect everyone. If you want a say in the future of our City, come on June 5th to deliberate with other citizens what City services we can't live without. If you plan to attend, please RSVP using the link below. Also, take a moment to review the "budget choices" and "budget scorecard" files on the site so that you understand how the options are framed and will be discussed. And please forward this link to others who value the power of people to offer actionable insight to City Council. If you have questions, contact Steve Johns, Executive Director, Citizens for Civic Renewal at 458-6736.
