Mayor Woodfin's Proposed Budget by Kristen W. https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33 Many saw Mayor Woodfin’s proposed budget as controversial. Why do you think that was? Do you agree or disagree? en-us 2021-10-22 03:50:08 UTC 2021-10-23 16:57:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838210759 I agree that it is controversial. The police has to have the support of the community. If most of the community does not support the police or feel as if they don’t need them, it will cause conflicts. ]]> 2021-10-23 16:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838210759 Charles Shelton https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838211290 I think that people saw this decision as controversial because more people are losing their jobs in hopes of funding the police.  This decision is two folds because police funding can lead to better protection and less crime while others loose their jobs.

I think he should put it towards a place for homeless people or raising minimum wage so less people would turn to crime for quick money.]]> 2021-10-23 16:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838212774 Murphy https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838213022 I agree every other group lost important money for what they need]]> 2021-10-23 16:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838213022 Olivia https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838213700 People most likely saw it as controversial because education had the least amount of funding. I agree because education impacts the lives and future of everyone in the community.]]> 2021-10-23 16:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838213700 I disagree with him https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838213981 Cause there are so many more things that need to change in Birmingham before they go working on the the police force cause there are people that are literally an the street hungry and homeless and I think that needs to change before anything else.-Imani ]]> 2021-10-23 16:56:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838213981 The budget impacts everyone who is either low-income or would not have a voice in the community. The proposed budget fails to acknowledge all of the city's people. arianasims87 https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838214573 2021-10-23 16:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838214573 Kolbe https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838215026 I agree with Mayor Woodfin that money is controversial because some money is used to support bad crimes but also used to stop crime.]]> 2021-10-23 16:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenrw/5npffripquiojd33/wish/1838215026
