Top issues during term (7)(Budget)
City Financial Cashflow and Budget Monitoring
The financing arrangement could back city borrowing; the dollar amount wasn't stated at this meeting.
tax exemption
Eligible veterans will see immediate relief on their property tax bills, though the city will absorb a slight shift in tax revenue.
state funding
It injects $25 million straight into city coffers, keeping our local budget balanced without raising your taxes.
infrastructure funding
Leaving $40 million untouched means taxpayers are missing out on major infrastructure upgrades while construction costs continue to rise.
Inflation Impact on Municipal Employee Real Wages
Union contract outcomes carry potential long-term fiscal implications for the city operating budget.
state funding request
Securing this funding could mean millions in state dollars flowing into Buffalo to pay for local upgrades without hiking our property taxes.
sewer infrastructure funding
State funding picks up the tab, saving local taxpayers from shouldering the massive cost of these sewer upgrades.
