Top issues during term (3)(General)
candidate announcement
The announcement itself doesn’t move city money, but the election outcome could shape Ward 3 spending and policy priorities.
state of the city address
The speech itself doesn't list dollar amounts, but it signals which projects and services City Hall will likely prioritize in the next budget.
board member termination for racial slur
The direct cost is probably small—mostly staff time, legal review, and filling the seat—but the reputational hit could matter more than the paperwork.
