Top issues during term (8)
public safety
Taxpayers are footing the bill for hundreds of emergency responses to this single property, draining city resources.
cultural preservation
Tax dollars are funding the restoration project, which should eventually draw more tourists and music fans to spend money in town.
utility rate increase
Your monthly household budget is going to take a small hit with higher utility bills.
council vacancy
It could cost the city a bit of cash if they decide to run a special election instead of just appointing a replacement.
political appointment
It shouldn't cost much extra cash, just standard administrative and maybe appointment-process costs.
environmental spill
Taxpayers could end up footing the bill for emergency cleanup and major infrastructure upgrades to stop this from happening again.
police chief appointment
There's no word on changes to the police budget yet, but leadership changes usually bring new spending priorities.
racial disparities
While exact budget figures aren't finalized yet, city funds will likely be redirected toward these new equity programs.
