The city budget could be a dominant theme in Scottsdale’s mayoral and council campaigns as the city grapples with major revenue shortfalls due to the pandemic.
Several council members, including mayoral candidates Virginia Korte and Suzanne Klapp, have already chastised city staff for being too optimistic with a spending plan featuring about $25 million in cuts.
A council majority have called for at least $50 million in cuts as the city loses millions of dollars in revenue from sales and other taxes.
