FY 2027 Property Tax Levy

Asked that if the tax increase goes through, allocations be distributed more evenly to schools rather than cities and the county.

Questioned the budget's assumed 10% valuation increase versus realtors' 1.1–1.9% estimates, criticized Davenport's fiscal reputation and road conditions, and asked whether aldermen had read all 473 pages of the budget.

Called the 10% valuation assumption exorbitant given 2.8% Social Security increases, said the levy math doesn't add up, cited an unfinished street repair, and demanded transparency about where the money goes.
