Candidate Question: What is an issue affecting the town that you care about most and want to make a priority? How will it guide your decision making?
Spino: As it pertains to the Board of Finance, the single most pressing issue facing Monroe is transparency and accountability in spending. This will be accomplished by asking tough questions about any new spending of taxpayer dollars; reviewing budget assumptions to build a solid foundation for the future; and creating a three-year budget model to guide the fiscal health of our town.
