Here are some of the things we have accomplished in just a few short months:
- Vetoed the “Rain Tax,” a poorly crafted law passed by the General Assembly that unfairly burdens Anne Arundel taxpayers
- Worked with first responders to cut 911 response times in half without any additional cost to taxpayers
- Implemented a 90-day strategic plan within the fire department that resulted in decreased homeowner insurance rates for 2,000 taxpaying families
- Convinced Moody’s and S&P to revise our County’s financial outlook from negative to stable, which will save us money
- Provided business owners and taxpayers a bigger voice in our government by creating the Commission on Excellence charged with looking at every county department to recommend best practices
