"Cupertino as an economic engine for the region that gave out millions more in taxes than it received. Moore also painted a stark picture of California's growing slate of increasingly rigorous policy intent on addressing the state's housing crisis, arguing that local control had been supplanted by a reign of ever-changing state laws mandating more housing while putting retail at risk."
"We are very proud of the services that we provide, (the) collaboration that we have with the city, said Undersheriff Michael Doty speaking of continuing to work together to ensure that this city remains safe."
Mayor Kitty Moore delivered a State of the City address emphasizing resilience and disciplined governance amid mounting financial challenges. The city confronts multiple fiscal pressures: a city hall overhaul, substantial tax revenue reduction from Apple, and escalating sheriff's office contract expenses. Moore acknowledged tension between municipal aspirations and financial constraints, noting that regional and state pressures could necessitate exploring future tax measures. She characterized Cupertino as a regional economic engine contributing more in taxes than received. Moore also addressed California's housing crisis policies, arguing that state-mandated housing laws have diminished local control and threaten retail sectors. She committed to lobbying against restrictive state legislation while maintaining collaborative relationships with county services.
