#Fresno's city budget meeting is happening today at 10 AM there's no preview of the budget or agenda available to the public yet....if you can't make it don't worry I'll be live tweeting my thoughts.
Public comments were up first. The biggest concern of the community is housing accessibility and youth houseless community.
The fact that this proposed budget dropped after the special meeting started is strategic so that the people do not have time to evaluate and tear apart the budget before public comments.
