The Greenacres quality of life. We have to manage growth responsibly, by keeping up with our infrastructure and public safety.
Our greatest strength is our people. We need to continue to involve and empower people in Greenacres and give them a voice on how we shape our city moving forward.
Under no circumstances, should public safety and essential services be cut. We would have to get creative and deal with whatever the state legislature hands us. I believe in local control and with that view, each city should decide what is in their best interest as it pertains to taxes and services, and not the state government.
Taxpayer dollars should always be spent in the most efficient way possible. In Greenacres we have increased public safety services, reduced crime, and upgraded our parks without raising taxes. We could always be more efficient, and I support any outside agency looking into our books to see what ways we could be more efficient.
We are following the law as it’s written. The Palm Beach County sheriffs office does a great job enforcing the law within our boundaries. As a city we have not took any action on HB 1365.

As Greenacres celebrates its 100th year, our greatest challenge is ensuring growth is guided by thoughtful, transparent leadership that protects quality of life. Rapid development without long-term planning can strain infrastructure, affordability, and neighborhood character. As we enter a new century, we must prioritize smart planning, infrastructure investment, and meaningful community input so progress reflects the needs of residents—not just outside interests.
I believe Greenacres’ greatest strength is its people. We are a diverse, family-oriented community, and many residents genuinely care about their neighborhoods and the direction of our city. That sense of pride is what makes Greenacres a great place to live, work, and play. As we move into our next 100 years, I believe we should build on that strength by listening more closely to residents, supporting local businesses, and making sure the community has a real voice in decisions that affect our future. When people feel heard, the city is stronger.
Property taxes fund essential local services like public safety, infrastructure, parks, and community programs. If property taxes are reduced or eliminated, cities like Greenacres would need to proceed carefully to avoid cuts that impact residents’ quality of life. My priority would be protecting core services while looking for ways to make city operations more efficient, responsibly grow the commercial tax base, and pursue grants or shared services where possible. Any changes should be phased in and discussed openly with residents so the community understands the long-term impact.
I believe opportunities for budget savings exist in how the city reviews operations, contracts, and long-term planning. Regularly evaluating vendor contracts, shared services, and internal processes can help identify efficiencies without cutting essential services. I also believe technology upgrades and better coordination between departments can reduce duplication and lower costs over time. Any savings should be achieved through transparency and accountability, with the goal of reinvesting in public safety, infrastructure, and services that directly benefit residents.
Greenacres has taken steps to comply with the new law while recognizing that homelessness is a complex issue that requires compassion as well as structure. I believe the city’s role is to balance public safety and quality of life with connecting individuals to available services and support. Enforcement alone is not a solution. Continued coordination with service providers, neighboring cities, and county resources is essential to ensure people are directed toward shelter and assistance, while keeping public spaces safe and accessible for everyone.
