 This reduction could also mean job cuts and safety reductions. In a lay of this, Mayor Brown suggests a safety sales tax reduction, a one-tenth of 1% sales tax increase directed towards mitigating impact on city personnel, as well as an investment in community safety. Cathcart, who is not a fan of the sales tax proposal, hopes the mayor's office continues to cooperate with city council. I think that there's options on the table. I'm hopeful that the mayor and her team are pursuing those.
