• Elect at large Councilors who put Framingham interests first, ahead of developers and outside interests. None of Geoff's donations have come from special interests.

• Elect at large Councilors who bring new ideas, new energy and a new direction to Framingham governance.

• Reverse the erosion of our work force including bringing our Fire Department back to full strength by hiring 12 more firefighters, and addressing the 30% deficit in Public Works staff with compensation 30% below market,

• Protect our neighborhoods from over development such as the city tried to force on Nobscot village and now threatens a Stearns Reservoir community.

• Reverse 4 years of declining student performance, caused by more than $18 million in city cuts to local education funding. Late buses, weakened classroom support and stalled pre-K expansion hurt all students, and raise costs.

• Reverse costly deterioration of city infrastructure. The repair backlogs are huge: water & sewer system - $200 million; roads - $100 million; roofs - $100 million.

• Jump start the stalled environmental effort. No new solar projects have been started in 4 years, and the city passed up $2-3 million/year in utility savings.​

• Expand Senior Services, not cut them like the city did. 20,000 seniors deserve better, as the Callahan Center cannot thrive under Parks & Recreation direction.

  • THE SOLUTION is implement the recommendations of the UMass Boston senior needs assessment.

  • Firing the Director of Aging Services, Randy Aylsworth, was a huge mistake, which the City Council did nothing about

  • The City Council appears about to go along with the Mayor's proposed gutting of the Council On Aging, whose members oversee senior services. That must not happen

• Jump start economic development in the city.

• Reform city budget management to lower costs.

Vote for Geoff, because he has in depth knowledge

In support of an effort to bring much better government to Framingham, Geoff has also spent the last three years explaining what the city's problems are, and how we can solve them in his Substack newsletter: The Framingham Observer. Go to Facts for the full story on that, including a list of basic facts every voters should know before voting on November 4.

​

It's time for a totally new approach which focuses on being up front about the problems we face, rather than hiding them, and shakes off the lack of vision, indecision and poor planning of the current administration.​

​

That means a complete change in city leadership and picking up the pace on solving problems. Practical solutions exist and can be rapidly deployed, with no new taxes and real cost savings.
