The single most pressing issue facing the Evanston s city government is , and this is what I intend to do about it. Transparency, because it is necessary for addressing nearly any other answer that could put here. My foremost priority will be to restore independent Freedom of Information Officer Act disclosure duties to the City Clerk s Office, and in the meantime, I will be auditing the City s FOIA and Open Meetings Act compliance and addressing those issues with the City Council, staff and public. I will also be making more City information continually accessible through the FOIA system and on the City website, including benchmarks related to our stated City Council s policy goals (Equity, Affordable Housing, and Stabilizing City Finances, etc) so that both the public and Council are empowered to evaluate and address where our policy is and is not progressing those goals.

The single most pressing issue facing our city is , and this is what I intend to do about it. Our local economy. Both our residents and small businesses have been struggling through the pandemic and as we come out of it, we should do all we can to assist and ensure we all land on our feet. If we can rein in our spending and find new sources to diversify the source of our tax revenue, we can offer temporary concessions that will help alleviate some of the tax burden that falls on residents and small businesses.
