During a recent town council meeting, community member Todd Greenberg expressed strong concerns regarding the council's decision-making and financial management. Greenberg criticized the council for what he described as a disregard for community input and highlighted a pattern of overspending and poor fiscal responsibility over the past four years.
He specifically pointed to Mayor Koehler's proposal to construct multi-story buildings in Fairfax, questioning whether such developments align with community desires. Greenberg argued that the council has consistently ignored the voices of residents, stating, \"If you really cared, you'd let us all speak rather than trying to stifle our voices.\"
Financially, Greenberg noted a troubling trend: while the town's revenues have increased by 11%, expenditures have surged by 34%. He challenged the council's assertion that there is no budget deficit, revealing that the projected deficit for the current year stands at approximately $1.5 million. His remarks underscore growing frustration among residents regarding the council's fiscal policies and development plans, raising questions about the future direction of the town.
