Mayor Jonathan Rothschild's first State of the City address
We must prioritize investments in infrastructure. I believe that fixing city roads is our first priority. Our State Legislature must return the funds it has swept for road maintenance from cities, counties and towns for many years. And as we fix our roads, let’s be smart about it. Let’s use environmentally-friendly engineering to limit rainwater runoff. And let’s build more bike paths, so we incorporate our livability goals into original designs, rather than spend more later to make those improvements.While city revenues are up, so are fixed costs and expenses. For the first time in several years, we should not need to cut our city work force; we should not need to implement furloughs, and we should not need to cut basic public services. But that does not address the long-term issue, faced by every city in this country, of rising fixed costs. Aging infrastructure, in both roads and transit systems, and rising pension costs, must be addressed. But let me be very clear—arbitrary large cuts are not smart public policy. Pensions are earned through years of service, and those for police and firefighters are the result of long careers where our public servants put their lives on the line every day for this community. We must honor that service. And, such benefits are one of the ways city government can attract the best talent in the future.
