Follow the Money

Dublin’s rapid development boom has generated millions in developer fees, impact fees, and tax revenue. That’s money that belongs to the community — and the community has every right to know exactly where it’s going. Right now, that information is buried in dense budget documents that most residents will never read.

Transparency Is Not Optional

Government transparency isn’t about catching wrongdoing — it’s about building trust. When residents can see how their tax dollars are spent in real time, they become partners in governance instead of spectators. Shivraj will champion a public-facing budget dashboard that makes Dublin’s finances accessible, searchable, and understandable to every resident.

Developer Fees: Track Every Dollar

When developers pay millions in fees to build in Dublin, those dollars are supposed to fund parks, roads, schools, and services. But without clear tracking and public reporting, there’s no way for residents to verify that promise. Shivraj will require transparent developer fee accounting — from collection to expenditure — published online for all to see.

Independent Oversight

Trust but verify. Annual independent fiscal audits should be standard practice, not a special request. Shivraj believes that every dollar of public money deserves the same scrutiny you’d give your own household budget. Dublin’s residents have earned that respect.
