Where do your taxes go in Binghamton?
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – If you have questions or concerns about Binghamton and its budget, bring them in front of an open panel tomorrow evening.
Veterans for Peace and Peace Action are sponsoring a public forum on Saturday called Where Do Your Taxes Go? It'll take place in the Exhibit Room on the second floor of the Broome County Public Library at 2 p.m.
The event will focus on breaking down the City of Binghamton's budget, to see what the city spends its money on.
One of the panel members will be Binghamton councilwomen Kinya Middleton. She says bring any questions you may have, since it will be more like a question-and-answer discussion.
'Things to make our city better and that's what we're really focused on, on city council. But just in general, there's a lot of concerned citizens and some of my concerned constituents. We just want to make Binghamton a better place, or not only that, just support the people of Binghamton and how we can do that through our budget,' said Middleton.
Middleton says the meeting will help to identify ways for Binghamton to consolidate its spending, without sacrificing the quality of service.
The event is completely free and open to everyone.
