Letter to the Editor: Questions for New Baltimore Candidates
Ahead of the November New Baltimore election, I'm sharing key issues to consider.
Key Issues
- Fiscal Discipline: The city faces a $500,000 deficit in 2025 and another projected deficit in 2026 despite rising revenues.
- Downtown Development: The 2021 downtown revitalization projects for Stahl's Bakery and the "Ashley Building" site have seen limited progress.
- Library Governance: The city's unilateral assessment of annual administrative fees exceeding $50,000 to the library was disputed and later found to be prohibited under state law.
Ask the candidates: How would you balance the general fund, and what are the milestones and contingency plans for downtown development projects?
Candidates should provide regular public updates on these projects.
Author's summary: New Baltimore candidates must address key issues.
