Policy Positions

I will not vote for any tax increases, special assessments or incurring debt.

I promise to press the commisison to put the issue before the voters before incurring debt, levying assessments or creating taxing units for town projects

I promise to press for the prioritization of  maintenance of the infrastructure we currently have. We need to preserve our resources before new projects are undertaken.

I promise to be a watchdog and monitor that all projects are competitively bid.

I promise to press for a cost benefit analysis of all projects in order that the Commission and Public are aware of all costs vs the public benefit.

I will advocate for reconstitution and utilization of the Code Enforcement Board

I will insist on the use of the Town Planning Board as outlined in the Town Charter.

I will encourage the use of workshops to foster citizen input.

I will promote greater transparency from the commission by insisting that the citizens and commission review grant applications before they are filed and resuming the policy of requiring public discussion prior to approval.

I will promote and encourage citizen input through:

• the timely availability of information to citizens

• the use of polls, comprehensive surveys and referendums.
