1) Maintaining stable local real estate taxes, while not cutting services. Careful fiscal management and strong leadership have resulted in no tax increases over the last twelve years. 2) Infrastructure improvements that directly effect our quality of life. We have obtained grant funding to improve our local parks and the Avalon Pool. 3) Continued support of our public safety personnel. We have increased our number of full time policemen, and our volunteer fire department has been successful in securing new recruits...no small feat!
I have learned throughout my life and in my career that by showing respect and taking time to listen to others, that I can often gain the respect of others. Our council members share their opinions in our committee meetings, and we work successfully towards consensus...."for the good of the borough".
