Budget Battle: Mayor Elorza Says Council's New Budget Is Illegal
See Elorza's statement:
The City Council Leadership has been advised that their proposal is illegal and that no other city in the state has such a structure. It is reckless for them to propose this change at the 11th hour and knowingly create significant liability for the city. We've told the council repeatedly that we are open to a progressive and responsive tax structure but not one that intentionally and divisively targets one community. I remain committed to working with the council to find a solution but I am strongly opposed to their current plan and the way they have gone about it.
