On March 4, 2016, the monthly #AskKenney Twitter Chat returned, and it couldn’t have come at a better time for Mayor Kenney — the Mayor lost his voice!

This month, nearly 100 questions were tweeted to the Mayor. Topics ranged from combating blight to the Mayor’s proposed budget, including paying for quality pre-K across the city and rebuilding neighborhood parks and rec centers.

If you haven’t looked at Mayor Kenney’s proposed budget yet, you can do so online here.

Check out a recap of the event below, and if you didn’t get your question answered, the Mayor will be back next month taking questions.

The budget was a popular topic, with several questions tweeted:

People from across the Delaware River decided to participate in #AskKenney, too.

Get your soda at half-price in NJ! Thanks @PhillyMayor for boosting #NJ businesses! #AskKenney

— NJ Retail Merchants (@NJRetailers) March 4, 2016

.@NJRetailers That idea sounds as lame as your Gov. No major effect seen after cigarette & liquor tax #AskKenney https://t.co/UmI2MPhS8F

— Jim Kenney (@PhillyMayor) March 4, 2016

A few people asked about the tax on sugary beverages outlined in the Mayor’s budget:

@NBCPhiladelphia #AskKenney What happens when people stop buying "sugary drinks", where will you get the money from to fund these programs?

— Andrew Barbagello (@ABarbagello) March 4, 2016

Decrease built into projections. Some people will keep drinking, and the decrease levels off #AskKenney https://t.co/SsqOyncm7n

— Jim Kenney (@PhillyMayor) March 4, 2016

Do you have any data on who the Soda Tax would primarily impact? You don't see nearly as much soda in middle class home. #AskKenney

— chad nelson (@bibliotechy) March 4, 2016

That's bc big soda ads target low-income communities. Pre-K, community schools, will serve communities #AskKenney https://t.co/mVxP8yfTZk

The Mayor outlined steps the City is taking to tackle litter — but you can help, too, by signing up for the 9th Annual Philly Spring Cleanup in your neighborhood.

@PhillyMayor #AskKenney – How is your plan for tackling litter – illegal dumping coming along? This time of year our litter really shows.

— Kelly O'Day (@dkod) March 4, 2016

We're expanding CLIP citywide, that addresses short-dumping, vacant lots, neighborhood clean up #AskKenney https://t.co/fszlJbWelT

— Jim Kenney (@PhillyMayor) March 4, 2016

One tweeter asked about the City’s sustainability and environmental efforts.

#AskKenney @PhillyMayor what are you doing to reduce the city's emissions and pollution?
