The issues facing Cranston
Cranston's finances need serious, experienced attention. Here's how Steve will bring a fine-toothed comb to City Hall — finding savings and new revenue, not just cuts.
Digging Cranston out of this financial mess
Steve has worked on every part of the city budget and knows where to look for savings. As four-time chair of the City Council Finance Committee, he read the fine print, asked the hard questions, and held departments accountable for how they spend your tax dollars.
Cranston can't cut its way to a healthy budget. Steve's detailed approach means finding real savings and new revenue. He'll fight to protect the services families rely on while stopping wasteful spending before it starts.
Strong schools, properly funded
Steve served ten years on the Cranston School Committee and, as a councilperson, secured additional funding for the public schools, the Cranston Arts Council, and Head Start. A good school system is the foundation of a strong community and a smart long-term investment for the city of Cranston.
He'll keep fighting for classrooms and students while insisting every education dollar is spent wisely and transparently.
Taxing commercial solar projects fairly
Large commercial solar developments should pay their fair share to the community that hosts them. Steve supports fair, consistent taxation of commercial solar projects, which generates new revenue that eases the burden on Cranston homeowners without raising their taxes.
It's exactly the kind of overlooked opportunity a careful, experienced eye can turn into real dollars for the city.
Honest, open, ethical government
Steve believes in honest, transparent, ethical government. Residents deserve to see how decisions are made and where their money goes.
Steve will push for clear, accessible budget information, strict adherence to state open meetings laws, and an open process at City Hall, so Cranston residents can hold their leaders accountable.
