3. The Approach: A Priority Driven Budget
• Engage with the public and solicit their input about
community priorities
• Challenge Agency Directors to Fund Priorities First,
like:
– Job Training, Affordable Housing and Education
• Target underspending, vacancies, and program
inefficiencies, not across-the-board cuts
• Maintain and invest in the District’s workforce
• Preserve middle class tax reductions
