KNOX: Long Run Budget Picture

a. I do not believe that union concessions are necessary to make ends meet. I look forward to engaging in productive negotiations with the city’s major unions that produce a solution that protects worker’s rights as well as the city’s fiscal health.


b. As Mayor, I pledge to maintain a responsible level of debt by issuing an executive debt policy. The executive debt policy will outline the circumstances under which I, as the chief executive, would consider the acquisition of debt which is often necessary and appropriate to be responsible. Those circumstances will include issuing debt for infrastructure and other long-term investments.
