Chicago - Do you have an idea that might save Chicago some money? Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants to hear it, and he just may contact you directly about it. The mayor's office just launched a new website asking members of the public to voice their ideas on ways to fix the city's budget problems.

Thousands of ideas have already been posted on chicagobudget.org , and over 20,000 votes on the ideas have been cast.

If your idea is good enough, you might just get a phone call from the mayor himself, which is what happened to Arash Amini. He joined us with Kevin Hauswirth, the social media director for the City of Chicago.
