    • Over and above, we offered police and firefighters a 12% raise and benefits increase.
    • We recently announced $500,000 in violence prevention grants, with more to come.
 
  • We're lowering property tax rates.
    • We dropped property taxes 7% to the lowest rate for homeowners in over a decade (20% drop since 2017).
 
  • We're building community.
    • We funded high school credential achievement (117 residents), pre-apprenticeship training, and home ownership and repair grants.
    • We launched the Financial Empowerment Center, which has served hundreds of Racinians (309) and helped clear hundreds of thousands in debt.
 
  • We're improving housing.
    • We funded nearly a million dollars worth of housing repairs and improvements in Tax Incremental Districts 22 & 23. $966,846.44 in grants since October 2021.
