Council Reverses Budget Cuts Amid Tension

Council Reverses Budget Cuts Amid Tension

Published 4 hours ago
Description

City council just passed a budget—but it’s already sparking chaos. Major cuts to public safety, parks, and staff ignited fierce debate, with five councilors now pushing to reverse 48 layoffs, restore fire rescue funding, support unarmed police teams, and revive park maintenance—all funded by $12.7M from climate tax interest and contingency reserves. Tensions are high, with critics blaming others for not backing amendments, and another councilor reportedly drafting their own reversal plan. The CFO warns rushing changes could cripple staff, delay the July 1 deadline, and even trigger legal trouble. This isn’t over—it’s just heating up.
