Community Services and Parks Fee

Longtime resident spoke in favor of funding the library, museum, and parks in the budget, calling them assets that put Independence on the map.

Pushed back against online narratives against the fee, noting the old museum wasn't ADA-compliant and that the library provides free internet and kids' programs.

Lives on Sessna Street and serves on related boards; told a story about a young Subway worker interested in a library card, saying 'our library is an important resource. We can't let it close.'
