The Selma City Council will begin its series of budget hearings starting on August 10 at Council Chambers. 

We need both sides to can come together and work out a budget beneficial to both sides.

We’re optimistic that both the Mayor and city council put aside their differences and pass a  balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2023.
