My Top Issues
Taxes / Budget
My focus will include: funding and development of the Fairhope Center for Performing Arts, attention to preserving and protecting historic assets, proactively addressing downtown parking issues, providing citizens with paid firefighters, exploring ways to increase healthcare options with a focus on pediatric and eldercare, encouraging additional lodging options to increase revenue through taxes while allowing visitors to remain longer and increase spending.
Taxes / Budget
As your Place 3 City Councilman, I will work to ensure the Comprehensive Plan remains on the forefront and there is transparency in the process of completing its recommendations. Communication will be a hallmark of my term.
Taxes / Budget
Keeping more sales tax revenue within the city limits enables resident resources to be utilized for their own use. Tracy has a plan to achieve increasing sales tax revenue. She also wants to explore an incentive to attract grocery shoppers from other municipalities by lowering the city grocery tax on essentials.
