Top issues during term (10)
arson spike
Property values could take a hit, and taxpayers might end up footing a bigger bill for increased emergency services.
Belmont Avenue study grant and council communication
The grant would pay for a corridor study, but the city hasn’t said in this item how much it costs or whether Youngstown must chip in matching funds.
school consolidation
Property values in neighborhoods affected by school closures could take a hit, while the district hopes to save money in the long run.
eminent domain and property acquisition
While the city gets the land back, taxpayers are still out millions in previous investments with no factory to show for it yet.
property sale
The city gets a cash injection from the sale and offloads maintenance costs, while potentially boosting local property tax revenues down the road.
city planner contract
Your tax dollars are tied to this contract, and poor planning could waste money on delayed or botched development projects.
poverty statistics
Widespread child poverty stifles local economic growth and strains city resources as more funding gets funneled into social safety nets.
council committee assignments
No direct costs here, but who's running the show could shift how tax dollars get spent in your area.
police and EMS funding
It leaves police scrambling for reliable vehicles and forces the city to spend money on an EMS audit instead of direct fixes.
illegal dumping enforcement
Illegal dumping sticks taxpayers with cleanup bills and can pull city resources away from other services.
