Local Control of Services will empower town governments to provide the services we need. Local government is closest to its citizens and is keenly aware of the needs of the People in the community. To do that, we need an ally on Beacon Hill who will:
Reduce and Streamline State Regulations on education, law enforcement, public works, and how we provide municipal services.
Substantially Increase Local Aid and Funding to help municipal governments fully provide essential services without raising property taxes.
Create a Study Commission to localize some public assistance services for families in need - local governments know what is needed in their communities and they will keep a closer eye on the budget and overall effectiveness.
