Environment / Energy Accelerate wellhead protection and source-water testing. Plain-language water quality reports, not just dense tables. Plan and fund lead-service-line inventory and replacements. Taxes / Budget No surprise surcharges; simple, predictable rate path. Tie rate increases to named projects and measurable outcomes. Budget discipline: essentials before vanity spending. Environment / Energy Fix missed-pickup hotspots with route and data analysis, not blame. Transparency on what’s actually getting recycled and where it goes. Seasonal surge plan for beaches and high-traffic areas in peak months. Infrastructure / Transportation A “fix it in 48” standard for recurring problems where feasible. Text/email alerts for outages, delays, and boil-water notices. Quarterly town halls (in-person and online) to listen and report back.
