Team Kearny brought attention to the $10 million budget deficit and refused to stay silent about it. We forced the first honest public conversation about Kearny's finances in over two decades, and we're not stopping until there's a real plan to balance the budget and protect taxpayers.What we'll do:<ul><li>Close the budget deficit with a multi-year financial plan instead of budgeting year to year</li><li>Stabilize property taxes and protect families from sudden spikes</li><li>Expand shared services with neighboring towns to lower costs</li><li>Find savings through departmental budget reviews</li></ul>

Team Kearny brought attention to the $10 million budget deficit and refused to stay silent.Now we're fighting for a real plan to fix it and protect taxpayers. We need to responsibly balance the budget, not more gimmicks or kicking the can down the road.

Fiscal Responsibility
