Most of us have balanced a budget before … but maybe not one that totals in the billions. The City of Baltimore is getting ready to write its financial plan for fiscal year 2014, and as part of the process, it’s hosting three ‘citizen budget workshops.’  The idea is for residents to weigh in on where the city should spend money—and where it should make cuts.

In the first web extra, Andrew Kleine talks about the difference between citizen budget workshops and taxpayer nights.  In the second, he talks about why the citizens should take the time to come to these workshops.
