On the Feb. 28 episode: City budgets and revenue tools with Terra Gillespie. For some of us – okay, maybe just Matt – city budget debates are events of monumental occasions, on par with the Super Bowl.

This week, in an attempt to make sense of all this, Matt and Luke are joined by Terra Gillespie, frequent commentator on city issues and the former creative director of Women in Toronto Politics. She tells us why gender equity must be a critical part of city budgeting. We also nerd-out a bit and talk about our favourite revenue tools, along with the challenges that come with getting politicians to embrace them.
