The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I believe the city should put at least $50,000 to more youth jobs. Some households in the city could use an extra income. And if the parents are working full time and can’t get by the household can still make more income.
Who it helps and why
Yes it does. Youth jobs should be for everyone no matter race, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
