DENVER — Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said “our problems are solvable” before he unveiled his plan to solve or mitigate many of those issues as cuts to services begin to take effect due to the migrant crisis.
“We know the city faces real challenges. We believe each of those problems are solvable by both the city employees that we have assembled, and the community members who are willing to step up and lean in on the hardest issues,” Johnston said. “We want to get everybody inside and also connotes that we want the entire city to be all in this effort. It is not one department or one government alone. It is a collaborative community partnership,” Johnston said.
“This does not minimize the importance of that need,” Johnston said of the migrant issue. “What it does is focus on we know there will be reactive issues that come before the city for which our job is to be responsive, to be thoughtful, to be humane to be efficient in our delivery of services, we will continue to do that.”
