Long-term fiscal stability is a critical priority for Newton. We consistently plan inadequately and struggle to fund basic City improvements. As a systems thinker I will:

• Identify our most needed expenditures.

• Seek solutions for ongoing fiscal challenges.

• Analyze our budget for cost-saving solutions.

• Stop spending on needless consultant studies and listen to outcomes when we do.

• Strive to set our City up for long-term fiscal success to ensure our children and future generations are not still paying for the deficits of our past.
