The Mayor finally backed down and restored the funding for our kids. We forced them to listen instead of slashing the programs that keep our families afloat. Let this serve as a warning to City Council that we are watching every budget move they make from here on out.
Our city is facing tough times: A budget deficit will force cuts to important services for children and families. If we don't continue to invest in these services now, we'll pay more later in lives and costs. That is why I agree to send a message to the Mayor and City Council:
I am willing to support a temporary increase in wage or property taxes to save children's services and our future.
The Mayor and City Council think they can ignore us while they gut the future of our children. This surge in support proves we are not going to sit back and watch them destroy these vital services.

Cant believe this is even a discussion. Invest in the future or pay for it later. Simple as that.

Whatever it takes. We cant just keep slashing budgets and expect the city to get better. Think about the kids for once!

Keep the programs open. They are the only thing keeping some of our neighborhoods safe.
