Top issues during term (20)(General)
state investment
It injects a fresh pool of state dollars right into our local economy to fund city projects without putting the squeeze on your wallet.
Golisano Way street memorialization
No direct cost to residents — it's an honorary renaming on the city's Official Map.
gun buyback
While the exact cost wasn't dropped, buying back hundreds of guns usually means trading city funds for fewer weapons on the streets.
sanctuary city status
Keeping the current policies avoids costly legal battles and potential federal funding cuts that could hit local taxpayers hard.
solar farm zoning
Property values and local energy costs could shift as a result of this massive green energy installation.

It could save the city some cash on cleanup and late-night enforcement costs.
public gathering ban
Potential fines for rule-breakers could hit your wallet, but the city might save a bit on late-night emergency response costs.

lake renaming
Zero direct costs, though it could waste time and taxpayer-funded resources on political arguments.
sanctuary city lawsuit
Rochester taxpayers dodged a bullet and saved thousands in potential ongoing legal defense fees now that the lawsuit is history.

State grant funding allocation
lake naming resolution
Zero dollars spent on map updates or rebranding, saving taxpayers a totally unnecessary headache.
public market sustainability

Riders will pay per trip to use the bikes and scooters, with no direct tax increases funding the rollout.
overnight gathering ban
