Langston Hughes PAC in Mayor's Budget Proposal

Seattle City Council will hold a Public Hearing on the Mayor's 2013 Budget Proposal tomorrow (Thursday) at 5:30pm in Council Chambers.  Among the many, many topics to be discuss will be the Mayor's proposed budget for The Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center.  The information below should allow you to guess about when it will be discussed by Council.  They will take public testimony on the budget proposal PRIOR to the actual discussion.  So if you want to speak, go and sign up and you will speak to your issue and then you can leave an watch the rest on TV.

In regards to Langston Hughes, I expect that there will be strong support from all of the City Council Members for the Mayor's recommendations.
