Pie, Pie, and Pie Charts: Why Are We Broke?

We live in a beautiful city with lots of natural showstoppers and human brilliance. Yet it feels like Denver is always a little broke. We have plenty of multi million dollar houses, but RTD is cutting bus routes, school class sizes seem bigger than ever, and your favorite public library can’t even stay open seven days a week. What gives? Come enjoy slices of pizza pie and pieces of sweet fruit pie as you learn all about money in Denver and Colorado – and who decides what gets spent on what. We’ll explore budgetary issues related to local, state, and federal taxes, as well as the case for Participatory Budgeting in the community. We will also explore what we as individuals can do to get our voices heard and make sure that money gets spent where we think it should.
