Answer: The fiscal health of Braintree is the most significant issue facing our new Town Council. Nearly every function of our town revolves around finances. As Chairman of Braintree’s Finance Committee the last three years, I have a successful record of funding priorities and balancing budgets without overrides by saying ‘no’ to unaffordable spending, promoting efficiencies and finding non-tax revenues. We need to continue to consolidate departments, eliminate waste, generate non-tax revenue and prioritize our spending!
