Denver Mayor Michael Hancock will today be unveiling his 2013 budget, just days after he kicked off the campaign to funnel a few more dollars back into the city’s coffers.
From the mayor’s office:
Mayor Hancock to Announce 2013 Budget Proposal
DENVER – Mayor Michael B. Hancock will announce his 2013 budget proposal for the City and County of Denver tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept. 12. The balanced budget proposal will present the Mayor’s fiscal priorities for the coming year, including jobs, children and youth programs, public safety and safety net, sustainability and making city government more effective and efficient.
IMPORTANT – Prior to the announcement, Deputy Mayor and Chief Financial Officer Cary Kennedy and Budget Director Brendan Hanlon will hold a media briefing to discuss details of the Mayor’s 2013 budget proposal. This briefing is for informational purposes only and details discussed will be embargoed until 9:30 a.m.
Who: Mayor Michael B. Hancock
What: 2013 Budget Proposal Announcement Press Conference
Where: Parr-Widener Room, 3rd Floor, City and County Building
Media Briefing: 8:30 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012
Announcement: 9:30 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012
In the wake of the disastrous week he had at the DNC, Hancock’s focus on the budget should earn his administration some positive press. Though he’s patently not ready for any national attention, Hancock’s eight years of experience on the Denver City Council have prepared him well for the finer details of local governance. His budget presentation last year went off without a hitch, after all, and while Denver is still in a financial pinch, Hancock can now pivot to promotion of this year’s “de-Brucing” measure when questions of the city’s financial stability are raised.
It also helps that Hancock’s budgetary advisors are the best around: former State Treasurer (and now Denver CFO) Cary Kennedy knows not only how to craft a budget, but how to present one too.
It’s a shame, really, that Hancock can’t staff his entire operation with people like Kennedy. If he could, maybe the national spotlight wouldn’t seem so far out of reach. He certainly would be making fewer mistakes.
