Listen "Phil Mendelson Talks Budget"
Episode Synopsis
In the latest Hearing the Council video interview (from April 21), Chairman Phil Mendelson takes a deep dive into the current year's budget. From the "Incomplete" grade possibly earned by some parts of the Mayor's budget submission this year to the complicated triangular relationship between the Council, the Mayor, and the Chief Financial Officer, it's a good look into some "I've always wondered" questions about the budget. We talk budget strategy, which way things are heading, the status of free buses...plus what the Chairman's walk-in music should be, and why his colleagues hate his poetry. Don't miss it.
