Colorado Springs City Budget Markup Session: November 9, 2009
This is the first time I’ve been to a city council session and it was a rather enlightening process, if mostly to see what each member of council found most important and why they supported cutting or not cutting in certain ways. Overwhelmingly, this process was a political one with very little cost-benefit analysis and a whole lot of “I think…” and “I’ve always believed…” statements in support or opposition to certain budget items. It certainly begs the question: would cities be able to handle these challenges better if they were managed more like businesses?
