Meet the Candidates: LFP City Council Pos 2: Brian Cathcart

Brian Cathcart, LFP City Council Pos 2

The incumbent LFP officials who decided how our taxes are spent, well intentioned as they may be, have failed to adjust their spending habits to address current economic conditions. Further, these same incumbents have avoided making the difficult decisions necessary if we are to remain solvent and survive as a city.

We must solve the city’s financial issues first or no other citizen priorities will matter as we simply won’t have the funds and we cannot ask for more money before we do our jobs first!

I have spent over 30 years dealing with financial markets and allocations; how capital is spent. After reviewing how our incumbents allocate our tax money, it is clear to me they do not understand how serious our situation has become. Our economy and the world economy are in trouble because of spending beyond our means. I believe that as your council member I have a moral and fiduciary duty to the citizens of Lake Forest Park to put our city on a path of sustainable budgets and increase our reserves to protect against an uncertain future.
