Top issues during term (3)(General)
municipal court judge death
The city may face added costs for interim judge coverage, recruiting a replacement, or administrative work—though the exact price tag isn’t clear yet.
animal cruelty rescue
Taxpayers will likely foot the bill for emergency sheltering, veterinary care, and investigation—costs that can add up fast with 47 dogs.
lawsuit over recording ordinance
Taxpayers could get stuck with the city’s legal bill, and the outcome might force Watauga to spend more on meeting policies or recording rules.
