Omari Salisbury and Kevin Schofield of www.SCCInsight.com bring you a new series demystifying the City of Seattle’s $6.6 billion budget. They talk through the budget process, the state and local laws that govern city budgeting, revenues and expenditures, a step-by-step walkthrough the budget process, and how you can get involved. And once the 2022 budget process begins in late September, the guys will bring you “play by play” analysis at every step. This is your chance to learn how it all works!

First episode: Omari and Kevin start with the basics: what’s a city budget, what’s in it, and why does the city need one? When does the city’s annual budget get written, and who writes it? Once the budget is approved, is it “one and done,” or can it be changed? How many pages does it take to write it all down? That and more as we start to unpack the nuts and bolts of the city budget. #WWConverge
