On Monday, March 19th, Municipal Administrator Keith Brady and staff with the City and Borough of Sitka will be reviewing the FY19 budget plan, answering questions, and taking your calls. Hosted by KCAW reporter Emily Kwong, our conversation will focus on the general fund and big-picture budget questions.
