In April 22, 2022 a climate change policy was issued where 3000 trees were planted and only used a $1 million to fund it which included part of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland. This came after decades of having conversations globally and national about climate change. Cleveland received major power from coal which is the third largest carbon emitter in the Paris Climate agreement making the city of Ohio a green striving economy.

In a budget proposal which was released in 2023, the mayor proposed an estimate of $1.9 billion but was only allowed $711 million for expenditures and cutting vacant positions to balance out the budget. These cuts included the positions of public work and the police. $225,000 went to the expenditures which included 140 division police jobs. 41 of the vacant positions are in public works, 10 in building & housing, 7 in division of health, equity & social justice & lastly 28 in emergency medical services.

Bibb is actually a strong mayor according to Marquez Brown. Everyone in the West Side neighborhood had signs of Bibb and were always talking about him. Many folks knew him from all sides of Cleveland, majority were young voters wanting change, good policing, and mainly wanted police accountability. Bibb finished second in the primary because former congressman Dennis Kucinich failed to advance. This showed that a young black candidate had more votes than anyone proving to be a serious candidate. He had old relationships, even building new ones through his campaigns and won the mayor's office at 34 years old.
