Top issues during term (2)(Governance)
mayor censure
Don’t expect a direct hit to your wallet—this censure is symbolic, so any cost is mainly staff time and political capital, not a new city expense.
reparations study commission
The immediate cost is likely the commission’s staff, research, and meeting expenses, while any future reparations spending remains undetermined.
