If you've got an opinion, city council wants to hear it. Starting tonight with M.J. Khan, city council members will be hosting public meetings to garner comments on the city's budget for 2008, the 2008-2013 Capital Improvement Plan, and the 2007 Annual Consolidated Plan. Houstonist highly encourages participation in local politics.
Since 1984, city councilmembers have held these meetings annually to hear comments from their constituents about the city's budget and needed improvements. Citizen Request Forms will be provided at these meetings to document comments, but they are also available by calling the Mayor's Citizens' Assistance Office at 713.247.2907.
