A neat interactive look into City of Edmonton's budgeting:
"Budget time is here, which means the heat is on for councillors as to where your tax dollars should be spent. City staff created a list of the priority projects up for funding in the capital budget for 2015-2018. The catch is, council will only be able to fund about half of them.
What do you think they should do? You have $157 million to spend." ...

Very interesting ideas on democracy! Deliberative democracy comes up as a potential model for addressing some of the concerns:
"David Moscrop is a strong supporter of the idea of “deliberative” democracy providing resources and incentives to citizens from all political stripes so that they can gather to discuss and advise on policy, using the results to influence politicians and also educate other citizens."
