Duluth to kick off citizen budget sessions

Duluth's third annual Citizens Budget Committee series begins this week. The sessions are designed to give citizens a detailed look at city finances so they can recommend what municipal officials should do when revenues are down. The two previous committees have been recognized by the Georgia Municipal Association and the Atlanta Regional Commission as examples for other cities to follow.

The meetings will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. each Thursday through April 28. In years past, approximately 44 people signed up to participate as committee members. To register, email Susan Weber at sweber@duluthga.net.
