Spend Carefully. Plan for the Long Term.
I won’t promise to cut taxes before seeing the choices in front of Council.
I will promise to scrutinize the budget, ask hard questions about what we’re
spending, and be clear with residents about the choices I make.
I’ll work for:
- A careful, line-by-line review of the Town budget with Council
- Finding savings where we can without cutting services residents rely on
- Looking at the long-term cost of decisions — including when delaying maintenance today could cost taxpayers more tomorrow
- Making sure new investments consider the ongoing cost of operating, maintaining, and eventually replacing them
- Clear explanations of what I advocated for during the budget process and why I ultimately voted for or against the budget
Why it matters:
families are already dealing with rising costs, and the Town needs to treat
every tax dollar carefully. But keeping costs manageable also means making
responsible long-term decisions — not simply putting off necessary work and
leaving residents with a bigger bill later.
