Smart Spending.  Shared Solutions.  Relief for Glen Rock Taxpayers.

Bob and Ed believe that every tax dollar spent by the Borough of Glen Rock should deliver real value to residents -- and that local government must do everything possible to ease the burden on taxpayers.

​

We’re committed to delivering high-quality services while keeping costs under control.  We will also work to identify new revenue streams that are not taxpayer dependent.

​​

Exploring Shared Services​

​

We will:

• Work with neighboring communities to explore shared services in areas like public works, sanitation, recreation, and emergency response

• Pursue opportunities for regional partnerships that reduce duplication and increase efficiency

• Consider shared facilities and joint purchasing agreements to lower costs without reducing service quality

​

Smarter Municipal Government

​​​​

We will work with the Mayor and Council to continue to:

• Conduct department-level reviews to identify inefficiencies, overlaps, and outdated processes

• Push for better use of technology and data to streamline services

• Promote a culture of accountability, transparency, and responsiveness across all departments

• Regularly evaluate contracts, vendor relationships, and service delivery models to ensure taxpayers get the best deal

​

Addressing the Tax Burden

​

We will:

• Push for long-term financial planning

• Prioritize investments that lower future costs and reduce liabilities

• Scrutinize new spending proposals with a focus on need, impact, and affordability

• Seek creative funding sources, including grants, public-private partnerships, and shared revenue models

​

Planning for the Long Term

​

Fiscal responsibility means more than cutting costs -- it means planning for Glen Rock’s future.

​​

We will:

• Build a long-range capital plan to reduce last-minute spending and emergency repairs

• Ensure infrastructure investments are tied to clear outcomes and community priorities

• Improve financial forecasting and transparency so residents know where their money is going, and why

• Determine if there are additional ways to leverage town assets as a revenue stream

​

Bob and Ed understand that Glen Rock residents want quality services -- but also deserve financial stability.  We’re ready to roll up our sleeves and work with Mayor and Council's continuing efforts for sound public finance.
