Impact analysis
While there’s no direct price tag, these debates often eat up expensive council time that could be spent on local infrastructure or budget planning.
Advocacy groups on both sides of the issue get a high-profile platform to rally their supporters and push their agendas.
Local residents who just want the council to focus on city services like trash pickup and road maintenance are getting caught in the crossfire.
