Reflection

After the candidate night last Friday April 17th, I have reflected on that evening and see that the two GOP Primary candidates have some similarities, as well as differences.

The Ballston Republican Party has TWO different candidates with different personal styles after the same goal - a better community.

I see our differences in our management style, as well as monetary policy.

My views and operational style are summarized below, if it was not clear during the meet the candidates night:

The Supervisor is a member of the Town Board, NOT a separate executive authority with special powers. The role’s “executive” function is limited to overseeing municipal operations and representing the town at the county level within another legislative body.

Governance should be STEADY and DELIBERATE, focused on resolving existing issues before pursuing new initiatives. Decisions should be made collectively by the Town Board, guided by meaningful resident INPUT and community NEEDS.

Municipal employees are essential to achieving the town’s goals. Effective governance depends on supporting them to perform their work efficiently and professionally.

The Town Board should stay informed on the work of the Zoning and Planning Boards and other town committees, while respecting their independence and avoiding undue influence.

Fiscal responsibility is CRITICAL. Conservative, thoughtful financial decisions ensure LONG-TERM STABILITY.

At its core, governance is about RESULTS —not politics. The priority is delivering reliable services: well-maintained roads, dependable water and sewer systems, and a positive community environment. It may not be flashy, but it is effective.

Ultimately, the Town Board must advocate for the people of Ballston—free from personal agendas or political bias—and work collectively to serve the town effectively.

We will be the BETTER BALLSTON.

Tomorrow, we gather for the Saratoga County Crime Victims’ Vigil.

At a time when it has never been harder to be a victim, this vigil is a powerful reminder that survivors in Saratoga County are not alone. We are going to come together as a community to honor their strength.

We also recognize the public service professionals who stand beside victims every day. Those brave men and women that work tirelessly to pursue justice and protect our community.

Please join us. All details are included in the graphic below:

19. Describe a decision you made on the Town Board that you would handle differently today and what you learned from it.

The few items I would handle differently would all be items that I entrusted information from others whom I thought could be trusted. (...without varifying the information.)

I still trust information from various sources, but now always look to verify before acting. It is a slower process, but I believe to be better.

18. Accountability & Ethics - If elected, will you pledge to hold at least one televised “state of the town” Q&A each year and publish all meeting packets a week in advance?

No. But, I would expect that meeting packets would be published in advance. If the question is: "would you try and hide and try and pass legislation without public input?" No, that would not happen. The Board is expected to legislate the peoples wishes, not work on their own personal agenda or agenda of a few. There should be nothing to hide or keep from public scrutiny. It takes more time, but the end results always appear better.

13. Fiscal Management & Taxes - Supervisor Connolly argues the town is in its “best fiscal health ever.” Where do you see waste or risk in the current budget?

I would need to examine the financial statements to examine waste. My concern with our fiscal health is making sure our rapid growth doesnt cause fiscal issues down the road.

Yes, the Town does get more of the county tax dollars based on valuation. However, with increase of valuation will come increase of expenditures. We need to be careful to keep the balance.
