Expensive City Manager Plan at a Dangerous Time

Their skeleton plan is to hire an out of town city manager to spend money rebuilding our government during a pandemic and national business crisis when all cities are suffering from revenue declines and uncertainties.

Ask yourself, if City Managers were so successful, why have only 14 of the 62 cities in NY state chosen to be run by City Managers?

Unelected autocrat

running our city government

Less Diverse

– 83% of city managers are male
– Our city is run primarily by women: Mayor, 2 Commissioners, and 4 Deputies
– 3 of the last 4 Mayors have been women

Unfinished “plan “

– Only 4 identified employees
– Transition team will decide on the number of employees, salaries, costs and therefore taxes after we vote.

Undemocratic

– Can vote for only the Mayor and a single Ward politician
– Can NOT vote for the powerful City Manager
