Bronx Budget Hearing Date Changed to Feb. 16

Editor’s note: Last week we mistakenly reported the Bronx public hearing on the mayor’s proposed budget would be Feb. 1 (the original date). It was rescheduled for Thursday, Feb. 16. Details are below:

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. invites the public to attend The Bronx Borough Board Public Hearing on the mayor’s preliminary budget for fiscal year 2013, and the capital and service needs of the Bronx. The meeting will be held Wednesday, Feb. 16 from 10 a.m. to noon at 198 E. 161st St., in the third floor Litigation Room. Anyone interested in presenting testimony should email their name, title, organization, and telephone number to bmccray@bronxbp.nyc.gov to register in advance, or for more information, call (718) 590-3500.
