CITY HALL
Budget Hearings Begin
On Monday, budget season officially began as City Council asked questions of the Kenney administration. Gun violence, racial equity, proposed tax reductions, and economic recovery were the main topics councilmembers raised during their questioning.
Racial Equity
Most councilmembers inquired about racial equity in their lines of questioning. Councilmembers asked how the Kenney administration utilized a racial equity lens to create the budget framework, to select projects to receive capital funding, and to support Black and Brown businesses. The administration cited additional investments in the Commerce Department, a racial equity committee, and public safety initiatives as demonstrated commitments to equity, but City Council is largely demanding more.
