CAPE LOOKS FOR CITIZEN FEEDBACK ON BUDGET

For the first time in the history of Cape Girardeau budget planning, citizens can put their two cents' worth in without so much as moving from their desk chairs.

The city has an electronic comment form accessible through an Internet link on the left side of the screen at www.showme.net/capecity.

The form prompts visitors to think about what they want by asking the following questions: What do you think should be given priority in next year's annual budget? Do you think more money should go to parks or public safety? Street maintenance or economic development? Airport improvements or disaster preparedness?

Of course, not everyone is traveling the information superhighway, so Cape Girardeau residents are welcome to submit their comments to the city manager's office at City Hall, 401 Independence St., Cape Girardeau, Mo., 63703.

The city is trying hard to get citizen feedback. Here's your chance.
