Fiscal Responsibility

Share on Social Media:

There seems to be way too many local politicians and school administrators that are under the false impression that the money in their budgets actually belongs to them. In reality, it actually still belongs to “We the People.” We are the taxpayers. It’s our money, and we have only entrusted it to their budgets on the assumption that they will invest it properly.

Being fiscally responsible is more than just making the ledger balance. It also means being wise with the monies that have been entrusted to you. It means not wasting money on frivolities. It means not necessarily spending money just because you have it. And it means investing money into long-term goals now, instead of waiting until the last minute and having to spend more money.

I am committed to being a fiscally conservative steward of your tax dollars. I hope you will drill in and find out more about my plans to do just that.
