Biz: As Mayor Delays Budget Town Halls, How Will Public Have Its Say?
CBNO Executive Director Nellie Catzen spoke with Verite News about the City’s 2025 budget process.
“Nellie Catzen is the executive director of the Committee for Better New Orleans, which runs programs educating residents on the city budget, including publishing guides to the city’s budget and running surveys to solicit public input.
Catzen hopes that the two town hall postponements won’t presage cancellations, she said.
“These town halls are the minimum of what they could possibly do to get resident input,” Catzen said. “We stand ready to support the city in developing a process that is truly transparent and accountable.”
