You will be receiving numbers this week that will show further how these responsibilities can be financially managed. You will be taking on new roles and responsibilities that are best delivered at the local level. Change always is. And I believe, as I'm sure you believe, that good, lean, effective government is worth that fight. And as we move closer to the municipal elections, as you begin to campaign and run for re election, I submit that voters may like to hear those exact concepts.
Lean government is popular.
Government that delivers excellent services at the best price possible is good. Government that can manage change without increasing property taxes is even better. Next, allow me to change lanes a bit and briefly discuss restructuring. That's a big step in the right direction. It goes to show just what can be done.
