Fund Fargo Needs, Not Wants

The current Fargo budget proposal calls for an 11% increase in the city budget — $13 million in new money!

Tell the Fargo City Commission to keep spending increases to the rate of inflation before they vote on Monday, September 30.

FUND NEEDS:

• Public safety
• Streets
• Water infrastructure
• Snow removal

NOT WANTS:

• Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ($300,000 and 2 full-time employees)
• Bloated Communications Department ($2 million and 12 full-time employees)
• Public health spending and the Downtown Engagement Center ($15 million and 144 employees)

Act now! The Fargo City Commission will vote on the final budget at their regular meeting on Monday, September 30, 2024.
