People who care about the budget, check this out! Believe it or not, the City of Eau Claire and Eau Claire County have made good efforts to get public input on budget concerns, opinions, and new ideas. Unfortunately, public meetings tend to go unattended and surveys are hard to find. Well, here's another one, this time from Eau Claire County. Check it out. As the county says ...

The Eau Claire County mission is “To provide quality, innovative services that safeguard and enhance the well being of all our residents.” Your opinion is important to us. 2012 is going to be a difficult budget year and your ideas and opinions provide input to the Committee on Finance & Budget on community priorities.

Sometimes the silent majority needs a chance to share what they think is most important to them. How important is having a Aging and Disability Center in Eau Claire as opposed to Child Support Enforcement? These are difficult questions to answer, but sharing your opinion is one of the first steps to making a difference.

Also, there's a County Budget Public Listening Session on Thursday, August 11 at 6:30pm at LE Phillips Memorial Public Library.
