Get StartedI support a balanced approach that includes improved sidewalks, some segregated bicycle lanes, raised crosswalks, better lighting, and road changes that cause drivers to SLOW DOWN! Learn more
We must prioritize safety for all of the users of our roads. This includes pedestrians, bicyclists, and cars (and the occasional bear). Learn more
I also unequivocally support the red light and speed cameras coming to town. This will generate revenue (including from people who are passing through and ignoring our laws) and change behavior. It's pretty easy to avoid getting a ticket! Learn more
Some of these changes will be difficult to adjust to at first, including the roundabouts going into the neighborhood around King Philip Middle School. As a Massachusetts native, I am a fan of rotaries! Research also shows that rotaries/roundabouts keep traffic flowing and reduce the severity of any accidents that do occur (because they do not include a T-bone). Learn more
Decisions we make at the Town Council table have real impact on people’s day-to-day lives. We must carefully balance our desire to implement/maintain robust programs and services with the fiscal reality that virtually all of our revenue comes from our residents in the form of property taxes.

I also support keeping more revenue right here in West Hartford, instead of sending it to the State. The 1% tax on meals should remain in town, to help offset the costs of being a destination dining district. Learn more
That's why I review the proposed budget line-by-line, ask questions about programs - who they serve, why they are important, and whether we could provide them more efficiently. Learn more
We also must look for ways to bring in revenue, to reduce our reliance on property taxes. New revenue has come - from those who visit West Hartford - in the form of cannabis taxes. We will be installing traffic cameras, which will also bring in revenue from both residents and out-of-town guests. Learn more
