Geladino lays out an agenda

Here's an open letter 2nd District Republican City Council hopeful Joe Geladino sent out last night:

I’m being asked by several people what my experience is and what I will do when elected to the Bristol City Council.

Here is what I plan to do: I plan to listen to the people of Bristol – not just the residents of District 2, but ALL of Bristol’s residents.

My goal is to make people want to live in Bristol, by watching the spending, controlling the taxes, and not buying any more real estate that isn’t absolutely, positively essential and doesn’t have a specific purpose and properly funded plan. I’d like to get all the existing, idle properties back on the market and on the tax rolls as soon as possible.

I would like to get the long-awaited skate park completed.

I will do whatever I can to improve the efficiency of all the departments and department heads and address the numerous complaints I have heard about the wasted man-hours and the attitude problem of certain city employees.

I want to put a stop to all the money being spent on consultants and “specialists” when we have city employees who are perfectly capable of doing the job. And if they are not capable, then there needs to be a review of their job descriptions and qualifications.

These are just a few, but there are several ways we can start saving on the cost of running the city.
