Lock and load 'em
Guilford County's public hearing on the budget is 5:30 p.m. Thursday during the commissioners meeting (Agenda here
). Speakers have two minutes apeice to make their cases for cutting or adding stuff to the 2008-09 budget.
So far, the commissioners haven't had much to say publicly on what they want to budget to look like.
But what do you want? Better education? Less crime? Better parks? Tighter bureaucracy?
Interestingly, those are things that folks campaign on when trying to get elected. Now's the time to see how the people you voted in office line up with their promises.
So come up with a sharp two minutes on what you want and show up at the meeting Thursday.
