Our Changing Face & Our City's Future

By George A. Burgess

The face of local government, staff and council, has changed radically in the last couple of years. The challenges have multiplied and the consequences of not meeting those challenges have increased.

State budget cuts threaten our financial security and our ability to keep up with the ever-increasing costs of essential services and can create serious obstacles to Belmont's progress.

I have the professional experience that Belmont needs to keep its financial future secure. My three decades working in the field of finance will serve Belmont well. I am a homeowner and local businessman. I recently distributed thousands of surveys and walked every neighborhood in our community seeking your feedback and listening to your concerns and ideas. I have attended every council meeting since last summer. This vital input has formed my platform for this election and enables me to represent you and your needs effectively from the first day I take office.
