Government Accountability and Transparency

Proudly endorsed by the American People's Compact, I believe every municipal contract, vendor bid, and council vote must be fully transparent to the taxpayers who fund them.

 

I believe in an open and accountable government. I will ensure Cabot's public records are accessible and decisions are clearly explained. I passed a resolution to require that council meetings be livestreamed and that the comments remain open, to protect freedom of speech. I successfully passed an amendment to our organizing ordinances last year to require council approval on all new business at council meetings in order to slow the process down and allow for time for the public to research and comment. Democracy works best when the people participate, and I will always work to remove barriers to participation.Public service is a public trust.
