The draft of the 2004-05 budget is nearly complete. It will be released to the public within days. The Santa Monica City Council will hold a series of workshops open to the public at the end of this month. And while the budget is pretty much set, it is an opportunity for residents to understand where and how their money is spent. The final budget must be adopted by July.

So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “If you had your way, where do you think the City Council should spend your money?”

Call (310) 285-8106 with your responses before Friday at 5 p.m. We’ll print them in the weekend edition. Please limit your comments to a minute or less. It might help to think first about the wording of your response. WE DELIVER!
