The Chicago City Council’s Progressive Caucus will host hearings in the coming two weeks to hear feedback and concerns from Chicago residents regarding the Emanuel Administration’s proposed 2013 municipal budget.

The Caucus will move to enter the comments received at the hearings into the public record at the next City Council meeting. All hearings will be open to the public.
