What's her plan for crime and could we see an additional reduction in the wage tax?

Valid question. We can takeaway from her audit of the police department that she will probably have an uphill battle working with them.

I think the corrupt FOP will have a hard time working with her. I'm sure she'll want to work with the police so long as they follow the law. I know, it's a lot to ask these days.

Yeah she probably will want to work with them. Honestly I think that’s the problem. Whoever wins the mayoral race needs to figure out how to remove them and/or break the union. That’s the only solution.

The problem is not there's an uphill battle, it's that we have generals who are to cowardly to even fight the battles. I think Rebecca should come out guns blazing.

What? I mean Sure, I agree that she should. Probably everybody does. But the uphill battle is still there. I guess you’re saying it’s baby steps.

Idk where she stands on the actual issue of policing but we've seen her take on the PPD's use of its budget and her criticism is on point.

PPD is gonna throw a tantrum over any mayor we elect but maybe she'll be able to actually rein in their budget and outright disability fraud. Forcing cops to actually show up for work can only help.

Her actual report was pretty diplomatic towards the PPD, in my opinion. It objectively quantified numerous shortcomings and areas in need of improvement but didn't make efforts to shit on any particular person, and offered plenty of legitimate reasons why they struggled in certain areas, often mainly staffing issues "post"-COVID. I was disappointed (but not surprised) by how hard McNesby cried about it given it actually showed PPD needs help, not hate.

Good take. One could have read the report and interpreted it as suggesting the police are set up to fail and the department needs reform to better support the rank and file. McNesby instead sees everything through and Us vs. Them lens and took it as an attack on the police force as a whole.

I don’t foresee a decrease in taxes if we want better services.

There's always money in the bloated police budget/banana stand.

I would guess now that she’s running we’ll see her put out her policies pretty soon. They are important questions
