David’s Vision for North Attleboro
David's primary goal is preserving the qualities that made North Attleboro a great place to grow up, ensuring it remains a desirable community for future generations, including his daughter, Georgiana. He strongly supports transparent, accountable governance and financial responsibility.
David understands the community’s desire, and genuine need, for a new high school. However, he's cautious about the current proposal due to insufficient information and unanswered questions. He believes North Attleboro deserves complete transparency and thorough details before making a major financial decision. Ultimately, the decision lies with the community's vote in June. David promises to provide residents all available information to help them make an informed choice.
David advocates for reducing the tax burden by prioritizing town expenditures wisely, cutting unnecessary spending, and actively pursuing state and federal funding to offset local expenses. By electing fiscally responsible leaders, North Attleboro can keep more money in the pockets of its residents while still providing essential services.
