David’s Plan to Get Quincy Back on Track:

Fair Taxation & Fiscal Responsibility

• End developer tax giveaways – No more 40-year tax breaks for luxury projects

• Tax large-scale housing like businesses – Commercial rates for commercial profits

• Property tax relief for seniors – Let our elders age in place with dignity

Repealing Politician Pay Hikes

• Mayor’s salary which jumped 79% to $285,000

• The raise was based on fallacious logic from a report purchased by the city.

• If not repealed, this will make the mayor’s salary higher than Boston, New York, and nearly all major city mayoral salaries.

• City Council pay increased 47% to $43,500

• I’ll vote to repeal these raises and tie all future ones to union employee increases—no more, no less

Religious Neutrality in Government: 

• I’m Catholic, but I believe in a government that represents everyone. Public buildings like our Public Safety HQ should remain religiously neutral.

Common-sense Government Reforms

• Term Limits

• Public service should be a calling, not a career

• Term limits for Mayor, City Council, School Committee & Boards

• Charter Review Every 10 Years

• Quincy’s government should evolve with its people

• I’ll introduce legislation to regularly review and reform the City Charter
