Top issues during term (2)
fireworks ban
The ban could save pet owners emergency-vet bills, but the city may spend more on enforcement and residents might still pay for anxiety meds or calming products.
cannabis industry policy
The industry brings tax revenue, jobs, and greenhouse leases to town, while the city and residents may face costs for odor control, enforcement, and property-value risks.
