Impact analysis
Expect city spending, fees, and service priorities to reflect the majority’s agenda rather than a neutral baseline.
The council majority and residents who back its conservative agenda get the most direct influence over the city’s direction.
Residents who disagree with the majority may see their priorities sidelined in council votes and budget choices.
