## Resource

Michael Paul Hart, East Side City County Councilor, discussed his vote against the wheel tax, citing constituent feedback and lack of spending cuts. He highlighted issues with the tax's structure, including a flat $100 fee and no indexing. Hart also addressed the curfew extension for 17-year-olds, noting juvenile crime incidents. He criticized the Office of Public Health and Safety (OPHS) for a $45 million unaccounted budget and proposed accountability measures, which were rejected by Democrats. Hart emphasized the need for budget cuts and tax levies to manage spending and proposed measures to address public safety and financial transparency.
