Ok, so we met with the Philadelphia Youth Commission about 2 weeks ago. We talked about alot of things regarding the cuts happening within the city and interviewed several members of the commission.
I don't know too much about them, but, according to their mission statement, "The Commission represents Philadelphia’s youth in public hearings and gives testimony that reflects the youth perspective." I think that's cool. Us at Feeling the Cuts were happy to be able to talk to them and get their perspectives on what's going on with the city's budget.
We have video!
