    Wayne Brown has laid out his thoughts and a Beehive to-do list - ahead of the 2025 budget.

    He scored the Government a B-plus, saying they're too distracted by mega-projects and press releases.

    Simeon Brown says Wayne Brown is just doing his job.

    He says he's the mayor of our largest city and he's advocating for what he believes is needed, even if they don't agree.
