Letter to the Editor: Suzanne Brown says the Mayor is no fiscal conservative
It's election season, and the hype is in full swing. Mayor Kim Learnard is running for re-election, and her recent ad touting her fiscal conservatism is a lot more fiction than fact.
As a current city council member, I have seen everything firsthand. Her desperation to convince the voters that she is somehow a “fiscal conservative” falls short on every count.
- She writes checks to Act Blue, the Democratic Party’s major online fundraising platform, and those donations are targeted to some of the most non-conservative candidates ever on a ballot, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the PAC of Stacey Abrams, among others.
- Let’s start with the FY 2025 millage rate. Last year’s 0.06 reduction was not a full rollback—it was still another tax increase because the reduction was so infinitesimal.
Her recent ad touting her fiscal conservatism is a lot more fiction than fact.
Author's summary: Mayor Kim Learnard's claim of being a fiscal conservative is disputed.
