  • SPUR REPORT MAY 2025 Balancing Oakland’s Budget Sound Fiscal Policy Structural

    Oakland, CA
    Other

    This SPUR report from May 2025 analyzes Oakland's structural budget deficit and proposes nine recommendations to achieve fiscal solvency and economic growth. The report identifies a decades-long imbalance where revenue growth has not kept pace with rising pension, healthcare, insurance, and operational costs, exacerbated by post-pandemic challenges including labor shortages, decreased tax revenues from real estate, tourism, and retail sales, and a 78% disapproval rating of city government according to an Oakland Budget Advisory Commission survey. The analysis notes that Oakland's fiscal crisis mirrors broader challenges in comparable California cities including San Francisco and San José, and occurred against a backdrop of governance disruption following the former mayor's recall in November 2024 and subsequent federal indictment.

  • Property Taxes Dear Ms. Rosenson:

    Stamford, CT
    Other

    This document consists of two letters from Stamford residents to city officials opposing proposed property tax increases, dated April 15, 2020. Andy Dimitri reports that his property taxes have increased 25% since moving to Stamford in late 2013 and urges the city to reduce expenses rather than raise revenues, warning that continued increases will accelerate population loss from Connecticut. A second correspondent similarly calls for reducing the mill rate, arguing that residents are already financially stressed due to business closures and job losses during the economic crisis, and requesting that the city reduce expenditures to match the fiscal constraints residents are facing.
