A year into the job, Mayor Jones risks holding the bag on largest tax increase in decades

Mayor Jones is facing challenges in her efforts to address the city's budget deficit. The deficit is substantial, totaling $158M. The mayor's approach to tackling this issue has been to work independently, but this method may not yield the desired results.

As a consequence, she may be left with little progress to show for her efforts. Further information on the mayor's budget plans and their potential impact on the city is available from Texas Public Radio.
