Last month, I asked to hear about YOUR budget priorities. Thanks for responding. A government can only define its priorities with the help of its people - and Tacoma deserves a citizen-driven budget.
Now, we are poised to take action. This is not a painless budget adjustment. Our proposed cuts amount to $11,745,163, and may increase over the next year if the economy does not improve in that time. So far, it looks as though Tacoma can avoid layoffs and avoid service reductions.
Read more about the proposed budget cuts. I need to hear from you, so I can bring your voice to the table. |

It's that time again. While our City Manager is not elected by the people, his tenure is directly linked to citizen satisfaction.
Each City Council member will be submitting their evaluation of the City Manager's performance by early June. I have my own opinions about the City Manager's performance and areas for improvement. But I think it's important to let YOU into this process, too.
