none The single most pressing issue facing our city is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it. Without a doubt the most pressing issue facing Elmhurst is the effect that the pandemic has had on city revenue and the lasting impact that it will continue to have, the finances and emotional health of our citizens, and our businesses, particularly those that provide personal services or are dining drinking establishments. The Elmhurst City Manager has done a good job dealing with reduced revenue. I will look to delay projects that do not affect the quality of life of city residents and will support any program designed to help our small business community. We can help Elmhurst residents by trying not to impose more costs on them, recognizing that many have suffered financial hardship, and that this is not the time to make things more expensive for them.
