Personal Views: The City of Milton must return to a policy of spending no more than our revenue and avoiding excessive long term debt. The City services and community activities for the citizens must be restored.

As Mayor I have demonstrated the leadership and courage to make the difficult decisions necessary to restore the trust of the citizens of Milton. I have analyzed and trimmed each of our departments in order to prioritize our programs and balance our budget while guaranteeing the continuation of necessary services in our unique city. Fiscal responsibility, living within our budget, is my top priority while maintaining the highest standards of health, safety, and welfare of our community. I am committed to seeing that Milton remains a prosperous and highly desirable community, while remaining small town and rural in character. With your vote and support we will achieve this goal
