The Office of the Denver City Council issued the following statement in response to the financial outlook and plan released earlier today by Mayor Mike Johnston:
The Denver City Council understands the difficult financial conditions facing the city and the need for immediate action. We appreciate the administration’s transparency today and will continue working closely with the mayor’s office to navigate this moment responsibly. The Council looks forward to providing input on shared priorities that reflect Denver residents’ needs and reviewing the mayor’s proposed budget this fall.
This is a difficult time for our city employees and our city, but we remain confident in Denver’s resilience and in our collective dedication to getting through tough times.
