This event was originally scheduled for Wednesday, June 15.

For the 2015–2016 fiscal year, San Jose adopted a budget of $3.2 billion to fund police and fire services, parks, the airport, roads, libraries and much more. But where does that money come from? Hear from the city’s budget director about how San Jose residents and businesses contribute to the pot, why it continues to grow and what that money can and can’t be used for.
