County Executive Sara Innamorato on New Taxes, Election 'Observers' & Paid Leave's Potential Windfalls

Will the county raise sales taxes to help fund our pension system? Should we be concerned about the federal election monitors arriving at our polls next week? Host Megan Harris is bringing these questions and more to County Executive Sara Innamorato. They discuss the timeline for property reassessments, AI in political ads, and bright spots in the county budget — plus, why Innamorato thinks the county's new paid parental leave law could actually attract more businesses, and how she plans to respond to potential legal challenges to the policy. Finally, they get into the county's plan for when Innamorato is away welcoming her first child.
