From $10 million for work force training to 1,000 new beds for homeless people, Hall Monitor co-hosts Larry McGlynn and Denise Clay-Murray broke down the key points in Mayor Cherelle Parker’s proposed new budget for Philadelphia, on this week’s livestream.
The budget also proposes money for a Pothole Squad, and $211 million from the Opioid Settlement funds to fight addiction in Kensington.
How will city council respond to this budget? Hearings will now begin and run until the budget is put to a vote in late June.
For in-depth coverage of the budget and its hearings, watch the Hall Monitor‘s weekly livestream every Wednesday at 6pm EST on our YouTube channel.
