Kenmore Reporter:Kenmore City Council/Sharp differences divide Sperry, Brennan

After mounting a seemingly aggressive campaign during the primary, in a conversation regarding the upcoming general election, Kenmore City Council candidate Diane Brennan seemed to have mellowed her approach.

Nevertheless, she and incumbent Laurie Sperry have some sharp differences. Perhaps most notably, Brennan continues to insist that the city is facing a looming budget deficit.

“Kenmore does not have a budget deficit,” Sperry countered flatly, stating the city has $2.3 million in reserves in its general fund and roughly a $1.2 million rainy day fund. She said the city of Kenmore has no debt, noting that’s both an unusual and favorable position for any municipality.

Finally, Sperry stated the city has saved money for capital improvement projects since the day it was incorporated just over a decade ago.
