We've done City budget podcasts before, but this year we wanted to do something different. City Manager Chris Story joins us for a conversation less about what's in the budget and more about why it looks the way it does. How does the property tax revenue generated by growing commercial development take pressure off of city homeowners? What does a 48 percent jump in hospitality revenue over five years say about downtown? What are the City's greatest challenges around maintaining core services? What could future rising revenues allow the City to do to improve quality-of-life for our residents, invest in affordable housing, and advance community development efforts? On today's podcast, we're getting the story behind the numbers, and the thinking behind the choices.
