Budget Hearings, Week 3

Last week, Detroit City Council continued their annual budget hearings. While DPP had advised residents to take action and engage in this process we were disappointed in the reduction of time allotted for public comments. Due to this, while we continue to share the information needed to attend the hearings and participate, we are also asking residents to reach out to Council Members directly and advocate for what they want to see in the budget.
