As your City Councilor, I will continue to review this important report and work to ensure Holyoke government continues to be accountable to its citizens.
This report details yet again the on-going problems the city faces in the Treasurer's office and the lack of leadership in the office. I will work to reform the office and bring it up to the standard our taxpayers deserve.
At our January 8, 2008 meeting, I filed an order for the Finance Committee to review the report and make recommendations on how Holyoke can better oversee the financial operations of the city. This is just the beginning, please look for future posts on this on-going important issue.
Below is a link to the report:

If you have any questions or thoughts you would like to share with me on this report or on reforming city government, please never hesitate to contact me.
