Top issues during term (5)(General)
Old Town Neighborhood Preservation
The city hopes this will spur private investment in downtown properties.
surveillance technology
Zero impact on your wallet since no new tech is being bought or installed.
anti-corruption law
It's unclear if this will cost taxpayers anything yet, but bad governance can definitely drain city funds.
ICE detention facility opposition
It's unclear if this facility will bring jobs or strain local resources, but residents are worried about the latter.
legal challenge to city ordinance
This ruling could mean less oversight, potentially leading to misused taxpayer money down the line.
