St. Paul mayor proposes 2019 budget with more money for housing, parks, police investigations

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter pledged Thursday to boost city investments in a slew of efforts, from building more affordable housing to supporting immigrant residents.

“I am excited and honored and a little bit nervous to share with you my proposed city budget for 2019,” Carter said in his first budget address, delivered at Washington Technology Magnet School. “We approached this budget the same way my administration approaches everything — by asking for your help.”
