Taxes / Budget Use our resources efficiently and directed at top priorities to maintain a reasonable tax rate. Garner has experienced significant property tax increases in the last few years. Housing Pursue actions and partnerships that help the community address the need for affordable housing and workforce housing. Efforts should focus on programs that have a proven track record of producing successful results. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Have as the top budget priority to fund, staff, and train our police, fire, and first responders. In my opinion, Garner has the top public safety departments in the county and I promise to work to maintain that exceptional standing.
