The greatest threat to our town is rising costs, which impact affordability, and we address it through budgeting, continued investment in community safety, and community services
Our municipality's greatest strength is our close connection to our residents. We have an open-door policy, and we make decisions that reflect the voices of the people of Hypoluxo
Eliminating property taxes sounds appealing, but those revenues support essential services such as police, emergency responses, and town operations. We would see a funding gap that would likely have to be made up through higher fees or other taxes
