Managing Our Fiscal PrioritiesProtect our Most Vulnerable Citizens While Mayor Euille believes we must take steps now to have a more efficient city government and to guard against future budget shortfalls, he will not support cutting the basic, core services and safety nets for our community’s most vulnerable citizens. Preserve our Double AAA Bond Rating Mayor Euille believes that now, more than ever, we must be fiscally responsible and protect our double AAA bond rating. Alexandria is one of only a handful of cities in the country to have this rating and it is due to our sound fiscal management. Ease Tax Burden on Homeowners and Businesses Mayor Euille is committed to working together with the City Council to set priorities for delivery of services that ease the tax burden on homeowners and businesses. Diversify Revenues Given Our Current Budget Challenges Mayor Euille believes that we must continue to seek diversified sources of revenue; this includes working with the state and federal government. Mayor Euille has been an active partner working with our Congressional delegation to secure funding through the current federal stimulus bill. |
