I support the
efforts of General Treasurer Gina Raimondo for statewide pension reform and
will continue to work with her on full implementation of her plan adopted by
General Assembly.

I will always
fight to ensure adequate financial resources are available at the state level to
help cities and towns. I will urge
acceleration of the state’s new funding formula for public education to provide
more money to municipalities.
·
As I have done on
the Cumberland Town Council, I will always advocate for strong public
schools and the need for educational excellence to make our state more
competitive with others.
·
I will work to
ease burdensome state regulations and to streamline the permitting and licensing
procedures that hurt our small businesses in Cumberland and Lincoln.
·
As I have done on
the Cumberland Town Council and as a member of several environmental
organizations, I will support all efforts to protect open space for recreation
and conservation purposes.
