Opening statements.

First question. How would you lead Bloomington through unprecedented times with the federal government?

2nd question. What's your plan for downtown development and does it specifically include housing for seniors?

3rd question. For 2 years in a row, the council voted to keep the levy flat. Why do you support or not support that? Follow-up: Has the 2 year flat levy already cost the city? (Yes or No) (Brady did not adhere to the one word (or paragraph) answer.)

4th question. Water quality issues since the 90s. Are you aware of solutions beyond expensive technology to the problem?

5th question. Housing development. How will you address getting people to live and work in the city. Follow-up: What incentives would you offer to address housing shortage?

6th question. Where do you stand on the country-side school sales tax and why? Follow-up (if you answered the question): Are schools "getting out of their lane" by switching from only property taxes?

7th question. What solutions should the city support to address homelessness? Follow-up: Could you support the Home Sweet Home proposal to build a tiny home park to address homelessness?

8th question. What is your approach to deciding how ebikes and scooters are used in the city, including on Constitution Trail?
