Answer:

It's hard to pinpoint one issue that is more important than all others. Braintree has grown stale and must be rejuvenated. However, my greatest concern is the condition of the buildings owned by the town. Over the years, we have failed to maintain our buildings. Because of a lack of money, we have taken care of the immediate problems that required minimal funds but failed to maintain our structures because the cost was too great.
