Perhaps you've heard talk of participatory budgeting in Greensboro and like me, really didn't know what to make of it? If that's the case you can learn more at Greensboro Participatory Budgeting. Me? I'm thinking an open and honest participatory budgeting process would have never even made mention of a downtown performing arts center or spending hundreds of thousands of dollars renaming roads for branding at a time when the economy is in the pits but who knows how it might work. Surely it could be no worse that the corporate welfare city we have today. Could it?
