3/24/26 Janesville City Council Candidates

Every day this week we'll examine the six council candidates' feelings on a particular area of interest to residents of Janesville.

Today's Question:

Two areas within the early stages of new development in the city have been the source of some resident concern and confusion.

1) Explain your understanding of transparency within government and where you feel the limits need to be on transparency in order for the city to conduct business.  Please include your feelings on non-disclosure agreements.

2) Explain your understanding of tax increment financing uses; whether you feel that Janesville uses it too much or too little and how you answer residents who feel the increase in taxes at the closure of such districts never seem to benefit them.
