“Reviewing and approving the city budget is one of the most important responsibilities of the City Council. I am pleased to report that, due to strong community advocacy as well as my actions, I have succeeded in securing several crucial investments for North Seattle and District 5.
“In the 2017-18 budget I championed and secured $4.4 million in targeted investments for our community. These improvements include, but are not limited to, investing in human services, construction of sidewalks, and neighborhood planning initiatives. For a detailed breakdown of the add-in budget items I sponsored, please click here.
“In addition, we added funding for expansion of the 13th Year Scholarship program to North Seattle College, supported successful transitional housing programs, paid for citywide community planning for siting affordable housing, and provided more space for child care programs.
