Clearwater, Florida, elected a new mayor who promised to spend taxpayer money wisely after the previous mayor quit over the city council’s expensive plans for a new city hall.
The residents of Clearwater, Florida, elected a new mayor who promised to spend their money wisely a year after his predecessor quit over the city council’s expensive plans to build a new city hall. 'We have to be sensitive to what the people want at all times with our spending,' attorney Bruce Rector, the new Clearwater mayor, said. 'You know, we've got an economy and inflation now that's really hitting Clearwater families hard.
Rector was sworn in during Monday's city council meeting at the downtown library. As mayor, he hopes to attract more businesses to Clearwater and said his top priorities are public safety, low taxes and road improvements. 'We need the best fire and police forces that we can possibly have right now for many reasons,' Rector said.
