Top issues during term (6)(Governance)
local election
Your vote determines how your tax dollars are allocated for local infrastructure and county services.
city council conduct
While there's no direct price tag yet, potential ethics investigations or legal fallout could end up costing taxpayers money.
Election Precinct Rebalancing
Costs associated with updating voter registration records and notifying affected residents.
election information
While voting itself is free, the measures on the ballot could influence local tax rates and how your city budget is spent.
election results
The county expects a potential tax increase of half a penny to a full penny for homeowners in the next budget cycle due to state mandates.
election turnout
High turnout is great for democracy, but it does mean the county has to spend more on staffing and keeping polling sites open longer.

Motions Cade personally put forward or seconded. Attribution comes from the minutes; where the minutes name somebody we cannot match to the roster we leave it out rather than guess, so this is a floor, not a total.
