Nearly a decade ago, Vallejo launched an experiment: what if citizens played a more active role in deciding how to spend public money?
It's a process called 'participatory budgeting', and Vallejo is the first city in the nation to try this citywide. Now, more local governments in California are considering this approach, too.
