Policies and issues
What Michael Stands For
Brookline has a rich history of civic engagement that has guided and strengthened our community. We will need that strength as we face the interrelated and complex challenges of the coming years.
Housing
Insufficient housing of many types is straining the budgets of young adults, families, seniors and the Town.
Fiscal Responsibility
I have the experience to provide thoughtful analysis and values-based leadership to address Brookline's fiscal challenges.
Climate
Climate change is an existential threat to all humanity and we are already feeling its effects.
Schools
I look forward to the School Committee reviewing the recommendations of the School Administration as well as identifying alternatives within the school system to close the budget gap.
Transportation
Brookline needs a fiscally responsible, balanced transportation system for residents of all ages and abilities.
Economic
Development
Mixed-use development along our main corridors and on our larger sites is Brookline’s best tool to grow our town’s income.
Seniors
Older residents constitute a growing percentage of Brookline’s population; over 20% of Brookline’s population is 60 years old or older.
