Lakeview council opens budget session to public questions for the first time

For the first time, the Lakeview city council will take questions from residents during its annual budget session, and answer the most common ones on the record.

Residents can submit a question online, by text message, or by dropping a slip in boxes at the council's six ward offices. A panel of council staff will group similar questions, and the 20 most-asked topics will be answered during the session later this month.
