The People’s Money

I am not sure how much you are aware of the participatory budgeting that is taking place now but the city is taking ideas from public input on how funds can be spent. I submitted an idea to include municipal recycling bins along the 125th street BID and hoping you can share to get endorsement. I dropped the link below to my proposal. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or edits. Thank you!
