How We Fund Transformation Without Raising Taxes

Dave’s budget isn’t about spending moreβ€”it’s about spending smarter. The total budget remains $1.2 billion, the same as the current administration. The difference is priorities.

πŸ“Š Zero-Based Budgeting

Every department justifies every dollar annually. No more automatic increases for programs that don’t deliver results.

πŸ’° Prevention Savings

Wellness centers return $2-3 for every $1 invested through reduced emergency room visits and crisis interventions.

🎯 Performance Metrics

Funding tied to measurable outcomes. Programs that work get expanded; those that don’t get reformed or cut.

🀝 Public-Private Partnerships

Leverage private investment for infrastructure projects, reducing taxpayer burden while creating jobs.
