Try Your Hand At Balancing A City Budget

I hear it all the time; people complaining that their city's budget is out of whack and they could do a much better job keeping it balanced. Well here's your chance. The City of Spokane Valley is offering you a chance to try your hand at balancing their budget.

The Valley's six year forecast shows a gap between revenues and expenditures in the long term. So they're asking for your input and how to solve that problem.

Go to the Valley's website to make your own budget, then let us know how you allocated funds. More street projects? Less street projects? Bike and pedestrian facilities. Give us your thoughts.
