Just Economics has prepared a budget workshop series to help understand what is in our City, County, State and Federal budgets and to help individuals become better advocates. Each workshop is an hour and a half long and will be on-line through zoom (you can also participate by calling in). The first budget workshop is an overview of public budgeting and is important to have before the second workshop focusing on the City of Asheville’s budget with attention to the Asheville Police Department’s budget. The third workshop will focus on the County (and the Sheriff’s Department) and the final workshop will include conversations about the state budget and models of budget changes around the country. The Public Budget Overview (Workshop 1) is scheduled for Monday, July 13th at 5:30pm. Registration is required to receive the link.
