A budget that meets people's needs
"There's more of a likelihood of a rainy day happening if we're not taking care of our people - because that's the crisis that's looking. It's not a lack of money that's looming."
- Amy Schollenberger

Lawmakers will soon present their version. But will either budget meet people's needs? And what happened to "The People's Budget"? Amy Schollenberger of the political strategy firm, Action Circles joins the discussion.
