b'"It\\u2019s our season finale, and we\\u2019re closing out the year with a look at one of the most quietly radical movements gaining momentum in Bushwick, and across the city: a program that allows members of the community to directly determine how their tax dollars are spent.\\n\\nThis week, we\\u2019re diving into the world of Participatory Budgeting with the office of City Councilmember Antonio Reynoso.\\n\\nAFTER THE EPISODE:\\n\\nWe\\u2019d like to extend our sincere thanks to Jennifer and Councilmember Reynoso for helping to open up Participatory Budgeting process to even more people in the community.\\n\\nTo learn more about Participatory Budgeting across the city, head to the City Council\\u2019s PB page (https://council.nyc.gov/pb/). If you\\u2019re interested in getting involved with PB in Bushwick, you can visit the PB pages for the neighborhood\\u2019s City Councilmembers: Antonio Reynoso (https://council.nyc.gov/antonio-reynoso/pb/9/) and Rafael Espinal (https://council.nyc.gov/rafael-espinal/pb/9/). \\n\\nWe\\u2019d of course, also like to thank you so much for joining us this week, and throughout this season.
