Summary
St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, a finance veteran, is pushing bold reforms to slash costs and boost efficiency—consolidating city contracts, questioning underperforming money managers, and proposing a 6.8% property tax hike to fund $1 billion in deferred maintenance. She’s also eyeing the closure of Dayton’s Bluff Library while planning a new one by 2028, arguing that long-term vision demands tough budgeting now—and she’s actively courting private investment. But her administration’s push for change is overshadowed by a brewing scandal: the police chief has filed a sexual harassment complaint against her, with both sides reportedly communicating through intermediaries, adding immense pressure as she tries to steer the city toward fiscal responsibility and growth.
