Top issues during term (20)

high↑Sep 2026[37]

Second Ward council seat vacancy filled

None — this is a governance appointment with no direct cost.

high↑Jun 2026[33]

IT ordinance and independence of Civil Rights Commission and Library

No direct fiscal impact this session, but a transfer of oversight could change how library funding decisions are made.

high→May 2026[29]
