Top issues during term (4)(Governance)
election administration
Taxpayers might end up footing the bill for the city's legal defense if this fight drags out in court.
elections
While voting itself is free, the cost of running these elections is covered by your local tax dollars, so it's worth making sure your voice is heard.
municipal elections
Your vote directly influences how the city spends your tax money on local services and infrastructure.
public official conduct
Taxpayers are saving money on the official's salary during the suspension, but the city might spend more on temporary staffing to keep the court running.
