Community Control over Public Dollar$: Participatory Budgeting

In essence, it’s about restoring democratic principles to community members separate from municipal elections. If money is spent locally, citizens should be engaged in that process instead of giving elected officials carte blanche approval around election time. The mission of Participatory Budgeting is to empower communities to have direct influence over how their tax dollars are spent. Thanks to a Common Council resolution passed last summer, the committee to introduce PB to Buffalo is getting off the ground with an Open House and launch party to implement a process that is active in 1,500 municipalities around the world.
