| Collapse all
- Budget crisis that requires renegotiating critical department cuts, seeking other sources of revenue before placing burden on residents by increasing property hikes (a move that would bring scrutiny from our state attorney general), and ensuring basic city services are functional again, and have the oversight enforcement capacity needed to prevent waste and corruption.
- Subsidence: the city is sinking at a rate of one quarter inch per year, with some flood prone areas sinking at a rate of 12% more. That affects the quality of our roads and sidewalks, constantly battling a ground that is cracking and compressing. I aim to pull together experts in urban planning, environmental engineering, and public entities to ensure long-term projects address this growing challenge. Infrastructure development is a priority.
- Our LGBTQ+ community is left uniquely vulnerable under a state legislature that is rolling back protections. A recent directive to take down symbols from roadways deemed “political ideology” has left the community feeling exposed, a feeling I share as a queer resident in Montrose. One response the city could take is to designate Montrose a historic district, granting a legal maneuver to protect symbols such as our rainbow crosswalk when it is targeted.
