Top issues during term (5)
special election
Elections cost taxpayer money to run, but the real financial impact will depend on which candidate wins and how they manage the county budget and your taxes.
mayoral election
Elections cost taxpayer money to run, and a new administration could bring completely different budget priorities to city hall.
county executive election
While no direct tax hikes are announced yet, shifts in regional policy and county spending could ripple down to your local services.
police misconduct settlement
The $5 million payout hits city coffers—likely taxpayer money—so residents may feel it through budgets, insurance costs, or services.
parking garage collapse
The city could face repair, closure, and inspection costs — and downtown businesses may feel it if parking gets harder to find.
