1. In recent years, the mayor and City Council have used a mix of revenueincreases and cuts in expenses to balance the city budget. Do you agree?Ifnot, what would you do differently?Mayor Peyton's irresponsible policy of tax and spend prevents the City fromfulfilling its legal obligation to fully pay for the pensions earned by the City'semployees. To pay for his wasteful spending, he has increased our taxes andimposed fees on us. As the councilman for our district, I would work withresponsible councilmen to expeditiously install in the City a policy of fiscalconservation. This policy would stop the wasteful spending of our taxes andmake unnecessary tax increases and the imposition of fees on us. Eventually thispolicy would enable the City to meet its obligations.
