Top issues during term (20)(General)

Human Relations Commission Renaming and Scope Clarification

It could save the city money on overtime and recruitment costs by finally filling those empty paramedic slots.

Homeowners could face higher renovation costs if the new rules mandate expensive, period-specific materials.

It won't cost extra, but taxpayers will be funding a transition process and potentially a special election to fill his old seat.
immigrant sanctuary lawsuit
Local taxpayers could end up footing the bill or seeing services slashed if federal funding gets pulled.
snow removal
Your tax dollars are funding weekend overtime and road salt, so you don't get stuck in a ditch.
severe weather preparation
Expect some unexpected costs as the city ramps up overtime, salt supplies, and emergency snow-clearing operations.
industrial investment
This multi-billion dollar injection will pump serious cash into the local economy and boost tax revenues.
County General Obligation Bond Issuance
Incurs debt up to $335 million for county projects and refinancing.
government procurement
It could mean millions in wasted tax dollars if these shared contracts aren't actually getting the best prices.
jail oversight board lawsuit
Local taxpayers will likely foot the legal bills as the board defends itself in court.
opioid settlement penalty
The county keeps $479,000 that would have otherwise been lost to penalties, leaving more money in the budget to fund vital local health and safety programs.
gun legislation
It could save the city money on legal fees fighting lawsuits over these bans, but it doesn't change your day-to-day wallet.꽁
sanctuary city policy
While no direct costs are nailed down yet, getting on the federal radar could mean risking vital grant money or shelling out for future legal battles.
