2017
Jordan's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ | With your help, we can continue working to reduce the city's property tax rate, maintain adequate public safety, enhance our local and regional traffic flow, improve neighborhood code enforcement and infrastructure, eliminate wasteful government spending, and increase accountability among our city agencies and departments.
I have worked with my fellow council members to reduce our property tax rate three different times and to reallocate property tax revenue to help pay down our city’s long term debt. But I say this isn't enough! We must continue being dedicated to reducing our property tax burden and in doing so, streamlining city government. I look forward to being part of this process moving forward as we keep Fort Worth moving in the right direction. Our next city council will face major challenges. Successfully addressing our annual budget process will continue to require experienced members with the leadership necessary to make tough decisions and do what’s right for all our city and its citizens.[6] |
