GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
• Fair contract for municipal employees and city taxpayers upon renewal.
• Freeze on salaries of the Mayor, council members, and executives such as the

• Taxes NOT to increase and/or go above inflation rate.
• Promoting Cornwall as a place to live, work, and establish/attract new businesses.
