Boris Palmer resigned from the Green Party in May. Next year, Tübingen’s mayor wants to run for the Free Voters Association.
About his motivation, Palmer said: “It’s about the money.” 60 million euros in district levy are planned for the coming year. In the district council he can have a say in the amount of the district levy and how much money flows back into his city for projects. It makes sense for the mayor to sit on the district council.
