San Mateo Daily Journal article reported on San Mateo's budget surplus. The signs of pandemic recovery are strong.

Thanks to prudent fiscal policy and our dedicated city employees who took 2 year salary concessions during the pandemic, the #goodnews is Council approved salary increases and injected funds for capital improvement projects including structural repairs to the Marina Library, design for our downtown B Street pedestrian mall, and high voltage street light conversions.

“Our community members will see and experience the benefits of those investments. I feel really confident that we are putting our money in the right places,” Councilmember Amourence Lee said.
