about many levels of public finance (woohoo!), the
Citizens League is offering breakfast workshops in St.
Paul. They are reasonably priced, and have many great
topics and speakers. The last event, on Sept. 14,
talks about the impact of public safety spending on
city finances, and how to get more out of St. Paul
safety dollars, presented by Matt Smith, Director of
Financial Services, City of Saint Paul.
(BTW, what you see below is what I know; all questions
should be directed to the Citizens League

Public financing is hardly exciting stuff, but these
decisions dramatically affect the services available
to citizens. Check it out if you have the chance.
