FAIR! will host its second annual budget teach-in on Saturday, January 20 from 10am to noon in Emma J. Harvat Hall in City Hall, located at 410 E. Washington Street in Iowa City.  Iowa City Mayor Pro-tem Regenia Bailey and Iowa City City Council member Amy Correia will outline the proposed budget in a user-friendly way and lead a conversation about a progressive perspective on budget content and process.

FAIR! is a progressive voice for local politics in Johnson County.  FAIR! works to build sustainable, livable, and humane communities.  Its actions are based on the values of fairness, justice, equity and transparent government.  FAIR! activates the community through education, local electoral politics, and participation in public policy lobbying and debate.

The budget teach-in is an attempt at making the Iowa City proposed budget more accessible to the general public.  It is hoped that this session will prepare people to make comment to the City Council during the council's budget proceedings.

Refreshments will be served.
