Fiscal Responsibility

“A Business Approach to Government” is more than a campaign slogan to me, it’s how I truly feel. I have owned and operated a business in Cecil County for 45+ years and I have learned so much along the way. One of the most valuable lessons I have learned is that there is always a solution, even for the most difficult problems. As your Councilman I have worked tirelessly to get Cecil County on the radar of Annapolis. Talking with other elected officials to see how they are dealing with the same problems that face our county, I have gotten many ideas and solutions to make Cecil County the crown jewel of Maryland.

Problems can’t be solved just by throwing money at them and hoping it goes away. We must carefully examine the problems that face our county and find solutions for them, without increasing taxes or frivolous spending. In my time on the Council, we have done incredible things for this County: Turf Fields, 2 State of the Art Elementary Schools, Internet Service to the southern rural areas just to name a few. This was done through conservative budgeting and fiscal responsibility, not through high interest loans. I will continue to practice financial conservatism while ensuring the money we are spending goes to the right places: schools, first responders, hospitals, infrastructure.
