📢 City Council Update – Finance Ordinance F-2025-01 Amended
On Monday, Finance Ordinance F-2025-01 will come before the council, proposing to transfer $175,000 from ARPA funds to redesign the city’s website and rebrand.
After hearing from many of you through calls, texts, and Facebook messages, I understand and share your concerns. Right now, families in our community are struggling—putting food on the table, paying rising CenterPoint bills, and making ends meet.
I oppose spending these funds on a want when so many in our city have pressing needs. Instead, I would support using this money for:
✅ Weatherizing homes to lower energy costs
✅ Supporting local agencies that provide food and assistance
✅ Saving the funds for future essential needs
I believe we need to prioritize needs over wants and be responsible with our resources. I want to hear from you—what do you think? Let me know in the comments or reach out directly!

Roads should be a major priority
Weatherization would benefit many in the community, so would assistance with so many struggling with Centerpoint bills. It should be used to help the community.
Last year, after Evansville Recovery Alliance did not get the Opioid settlement fund, after the public uproar about it, and after city council asked the mayor to prioritize ERA and harm reduction in the future...we asked city council and the mayor to consider supplementing our request with leftover ARPA funds. The mayor responded with - "there are no available funds." But alas a new year, and they want to drop $175k to update their website with the fund that "was not available" to an organization providing direct life saving services to Evansville... Still waiting for this year's Opioid Settlement Fund application too, we were told to expect it in January.
