Cleo here. The Dowd’s rental policies returned to council for another decision.

On June 10, 2025, council voted to approve ten private rentals for July 2025 through June 2026.

David Dotson: NO.
Surluta Anthony: YES.

This was a separate rental decision, not another vote on “Hello, Daddy!”

10/29/2026

Cleo here. Same proposal. Opposite votes.

On April 8, 2025, council considered legal research, drafting a position statement on safeguarding minors, and reviewing enforcement of existing laws concerning adult entertainment.

David Dotson: YES.
Surluta Anthony: NO.

The proposal failed. This was a vote to pursue research and a statement, rather than adopt a new ordinance.

Cleo here. What did council decide about “Hello, Daddy!” at the city-owned Dowd Center Theatre?

On March 15, 2024, the motion kept existing 2024 private bookings, including that performance, while pausing new bookings and reviewing rental policies.

David Dotson: NO.
Surluta Anthony: YES.

The motion passed 4–2. Both parts of that decision matter when reviewing the record.

Cleo here. Who should Monroe recognize with an annual proclamation? What about to controversial figures like Jesse Jackson?

The February 24, 2026 entry records a proclamation recognizing February 17 each year as Reverend Jesse Jackson Day.

David Dotson: NO.
Surluta Anthony: YES.

10/27/2026

Cleo here. Should Monroe increase its nonprofit funding cap?

On June 9, 2026, council considered raising the outside-agency allocation cap from 2% to 2.5% of the General Fund.

This is tax money, so is this socialism? Should the government dictate how you give?

David Dotson: NO.
Surluta Anthony: YES.

This changed the funding-policy cap, not the property-tax rate.

10/27/2026

Cleo here. Your money deserves your attention.

When council considers taxes, budgets, or public spending, start with three questions: What did the motion authorize? Who supported it? Who opposed it?

10/26/2026

Cleo here. Another decision where the candidates differed.

On June 17, 2026, council considered Resolution R-2026-43 reaffirming support for the I-77 South Toll Lane Project.

David Dotson: YES.
Surluta Anthony: NO.

This comparison concerns that specific resolution. Related transportation motions were separate votes.

Cleo here. Every new neighborhood connects to roads people already use.

More homes can bring more daily trips. Where development goes and whether infrastructure keeps pace both matter.
