We are opposed to the one cent sales tax increase and the doubling of professional license fees in Birmingham. While there are many things that need to change in this city, and we are excited that there is such an atmosphere of progress at hand, we want to see the powers that be have more input from the public, more input from the teachers/ police officers/ and fire fighter, and investigation of other resources for funding before going forward with this proposal.
The feedback I have received highlights a genuine concern that our city should look for alternative funding solutions before turning to residents and local professionals. I am currently reaching out to council members to ensure they understand that this proposal requires a more collaborative approach with those who serve our community daily.

The steady growth of this petition shows that many of our neighbors remain deeply concerned about the proposed tax and fee hikes. It is encouraging to see this level of engagement as we continue to push for a more transparent and thorough review of our city budget.
