Bonus Episode: When the People Decide - Putting Money and Power in Peoples Hands
We\u2019re in between episodes this week on Top of Mind. In the meantime, we\u2019ve got a story for you from a podcast we think you\u2019re really going to like. It\u2019s called When the People Decide, a podcast from the McCourtney Institute for Democracy at Penn State. The podcast traces the stories of Americans who are getting their hands dirty doing the hard work of democracy. \n\nIn this episode, host Jenna Spinelle dives deep into an innovative budgeting practice where citizens decide how to spend a portion of their city\u2019s budget. Imagine if you could be more directly involved in deciding how your city spends its money. Would having that kind of influence change how you feel about your city? Or how much you trust local officials?\n\nFind When the People Decide on your favorite podcast app. Or here: https://thepeopledecide.show/
