Due to the pension crisis, the City of Chicago's 2016 budget shortfall is expected to be at around $754 million. As my colleagues and I work together to create real solutions to fill this gap in our budget, it is more important than ever before to have as many creative solutions as possible. This is where you come in. Do you have new and innovative ideas about reducing spending and increasing our revenue? Please attend the 46th Ward Town Hall Budget Meeting so I can hear your ideas to reduce costs and increase revenue to fill the gap in next year's budget. See you there!

When: Wednesday, Aug. 26 from 7pm - 8:30pm
