Start with what’s happening now, then follow the proposals, public decisions, and source documents behind each issue.
Each issue connects plain-language reporting to the proposal, Council authority, timing, status, obstacles, and original documents.
See the proposed staffing cuts, what they could mean for residents, what the City still hasn’t shown, and how to contact the Council.
An independent utility review and a customer bill of rights for accurate bills, disputes, payment plans, and City-caused errors.
A rolling capital plan, neighborhood equity map, East Banning Basics Program, and minimum standards for bus stops and safe routes.
Public scorecards and enforceable agreements that show the long-term revenue, infrastructure, jobs, health, and neighborhood effects.
Read the plan, ask hard questions, and share it with someone on your block.
