The City of San Diego is in a tight spot, money-wise. Revenues are down and spending is up. As a result, the city needs to overcome a $258.2 million deficit.
On April 15, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria released a draft budget that includes a series of cuts and revenue proposals that balance the budget. These include:
- Charging for parking in Balboa Park
- Increasing the city's cannabis business tax
- Cutting library and recreation center hours
But KPBS wants to know how you would balance the budget.
