As a freshman city councilman, I have a clear understanding of what my role is and am dedicated to serving my constituents in the best way possible. After my first City Council meeting, I spoke with then Council President Joe Cavo and explained that I it would be a good idea to introduce an ordinance increasing the volunteer firefighter tax abatement. He told me to speak to the mayor who advised that I hold off until January 2021 and do my homework in the meantime.
