We need to see the full logical base. WOW! I agree with Bill! Rare is rare. Put that in the family bible! But, he is right. We need to see the basics. Not a fluff show.

Good idea!

I support town hall meeting with the next budget proposal already published before council action

The elephant in the room is the issue of transparency. They don't want you to know anything, so they don't share anything.

YES!!

There are *always* options.

Please have the meeting when the budget sheet available.

Wish our city government use taxpayers' money in a proper way. Newcastle is not a big city, so any overspending mistakes may cause worse consequence.

City Council of Newcastle is responsible to work FOR the citizens of Newcastle; this includes transparency and sound financial strategies that maintain/enhance/support/protect our neighborhoods, Instead, our infrastructure is struggling to handle the growth of "approved land use" at the expense of our trees, trails, and ability to get from point A to point B. In return, we continue to be assessed at home values not yet realized in our neighborhoods, and asked to pay additional fees and taxes.

I'm very concerned about the perception that the mayor was on the take in the purchase of Newcastle City Hall. I'm also concerned about all the development recently done in the neighborhood with insufficient traffic mitigation for the new residents and fear I'll have to move out of the neighborhood because I can barely cope with the terrible traffic as it is.

September is much better for a meeting but they must give a date and time EARLY so busy people can plan!

Please hold a town hall meeting in September, when more people are in town and when the budget numbers are available for 2018.

Thanks for driving this. Our city governments need to be open and transparent.

Thanks for taking initiative for city transparency.

open the books, let the citizens see where money is going.

Its well past time for Newcastle City government to embrace total transparency. Based on previous performance, and attempts to evade citizen oversight particularly, with regard to financial and tax decisions the citizens now demand full disclosure of all proposed or pending revenue and spending proposals before decisions are made or actions taken.

Lets return our city governance back to the founders original promise to the people.

Release the Budget for citizen review

I support this Petition.

All for effective and proper accountability from our elected leaders and paid staff.
