Mayor Johnson shouldn't rush through $3.8B more. We need to know exactly what we're borrowing for and how we’re paying it back. Without a clear and more responsible plan, all essential services — like safety, education, & transit — will suffer.

The last major borrowing plan came with a back-loaded, interest-only structure that pushed repayment decades into the future (like if you took out a mortgage and only repaid the minimums). We can’t repeat that.

The Mayor’s Office still hasn't shared an updated pay-down schedule with changes made since Thursday. The ordinances don’t clearly match the stated uses & we already have a lot of unused debt authority.
