Top issues during term (15)(General)
Sworn complaint against Mayor Jackie Espinosa
The dispute centers on COVID relief grant funds allocated through city-administered programs.
corruption arrest
City tax dollars were allegedly pocketed or misspent on private ventures instead of fixing our roads and parks.
Sworn ethics complaints against Mayor Espinosa and Commissioner Martinez
A special prosecutor could cost taxpayers roughly $50,000–$100,000, though critics argue the state ethics probe already covers it.
International trade mission and airport growth
About $1,900 in travel funding, against a backdrop of a staff out-of-state travel freeze.
Toho Square redevelopment
The city contributes a $375,000 park construction contribution plus land disposition and CRA incentives to leverage private hotel and condo investment.
political corruption
Public funds may have been misused, which could mean your tax dollars take a hit or extra money has to go toward a sudden special election.
ethics censure
While there's no direct price tag yet, political chaos at the top usually ends up wasting taxpayer time and resources.
hiring freeze
Personnel costs are about 70% of the budget; the potential loss of up to 88 positions with pension costs up another $2 million this year.
Ethics complaint process suspension and pending sworn complaints
The special prosecutor appointed under the old rule bills the city $475 per hour, an unanticipated expense.
Ethics complaints against city officials
Local taxpayers are footing the bill for the fallout of mismanaged relief funds that should have gone to struggling citizens instead of connected insiders.
Sale of 1021 W. Oak Street
The city stands to receive $1.2 million from the sale.

Doesn't cost you a dime, since these events are meant to build community ties using existing local resources.
alcohol last call regulation
Local bars and nightlife spots could see a dip in late-night revenue if their doors have to close earlier.
investigation
Misspent relief funds could mean Kissimmee loses future state and federal aid, ultimately hurting taxpayers who foot the bill.
