One of the biggest challenges any local government faces is how to prioritize spending with limited resources. Localities have to strike the right balance between paying for the core services of government and allowing families to keep more of their hard earned money. Every dollar spent should be debated and evaluated against other expenses.
In Prince William County, we have many high priorities facing the Board of County Supervisors. Each year, our classrooms become more and more crowded, we continue to struggle to hire enough police officers and firefighters, our social services seem to be at a breaking point, and too many people sit on roads that are at the brink of capacity.
