OP-ED | FROM Page 7 getting ahead of any surprises to make appropriate and timely course corrections. It’s easy to see weekly headlines of communities failing to make ends meet or experiencing fi nancial strain. However, I can confi dently say this is not how we, the City of Revere, operate. We thrive in an uncomfortable environment because we constantly apply our own internal stress test, which I can see separates the good from the great. This budget has been a culmination of the work we have done over the last three years, and a sign of the work we will continue to do in the years ahead. We will always ensure Revere is always moving forward, allowing sustainable growth while preserving aff ordability to our taxpayers. Revere is the place to live, set deep routes, enjoy recreational amenities, get a great education, raise a family and to thrive. As we go through our budgetary hearings in the coming weeks, we hope to answer any and all questions, and look forward to another stable year in the City of Revere.
