by Laura A. Mellem, Liaison

If you were in charge of the New Orleans city budget, how would you spend the money?  The Big Easy Budget Game lets you decide how to spend the city's general fund the way you see fit. 

It's easy -- most people do it in fifteen minutes or less -- it's a great way to learn a little more about the budget, and it's actually fun!  

More than 400 people have already played the Big Easy Budget Game, and the Committee for a Better New Orleans will take the results from all players and present them to the mayor and the City Council during the budget process.

Spending decisions are among the most important any city government makes, so play the Big Easy Budget Game and add your input to this year's New Orleans city budget.
