Substantial savings would be immediately realized with the sale of some of the town s vehicles. These extra vehicles must be maintained and insured at considerable expense. There should only be a sufficient number of vehicles for town employees to do their jobs. We cannot afford extra vehicles parked at home or used for personal convenience. Town government should do for its people what they cannot do for themselves.
Citizens can afford to pay for their own entertainment and cultural needs.
Greater operational efficiency can be had if the town employees are permitted to do their jobs. Except for properly held meetings, the mayor and individual members of town council must refrain from micro-managing the town manager and public works department. We cannot continue to spend thousands of dollars for repaired pumps to band aid the water plant. This just slowly bleeds taxpayers with ever increasing tax increases. We must seek longer range solutions.
