February 3, 2026 City Council Meetings
Highlights from February 3 City Council meetings
If Raleigh Budgeted More Like N.C., Taxpayers Would Save Millions
For (3) years, I’ve proposed one or more good faith work sessions to share business experience, discuss best practice expense management and budget opportunities not in city use. And repeatedly with no city interest. Similar results two months ago with Christina’s new LEAD budget initiative. My emails were sent to LEAD HR contact Sharnell, then Ryan and finally city manager, all without even the courtesy of a reply.
Help Hold the City of Raleigh Accountable
The City is approving rezonings that directly contradict its own Comprehensive Plan, the document meant to protect neighborhoods, historic areas, and responsible growth. When the government fails to follow its own rules, residents are left with no choice but to stand up and defend themselves. That is why neighbors are raising money to support the community’s efforts to defend responsible planning and neighborhood protections. Donations can be made anonymously.
Is the city lying about the Big Branch Greenway?
For 18 months, Parks and Rec has repeatedly presented false or misleading claims to steer the public and this Council toward a predetermined outcome. Falsely claimed that it held a greenway construction easement. Falsely claimed this project has been a 50-year priority. Produced erroneous cost estimates.
Working Partners: CACs, RPD and Livable Raleigh join in community engagement efforts
Community Watchdogs work together to keep Raleigh residents informed on important current issues. Citizen Advisory Councils (CACs), Raleigh Police Department (RPD) and Livable Raleigh are all working to educate the public on relevant issues.
