Top issues during term (4)
police drone program
Your tax dollars likely cover drones, training, maintenance, and data storage, so the program brings new municipal costs alongside possible savings from faster response.
welcoming city certification loss
There’s no price tag attached yet, but losing the label could put community and economic programs—and the funding or partnerships tied to them—at risk.
public transit
It could save riders money on gas and parking, but the city’s tab for running it isn’t spelled out here.
councilmember criminal charges
Taxpayers could end up paying for a special election or extra legal and administrative costs if the situation leads to a resignation or removal.
