Bryk wrote, “My goals for the office are to:
- Maintain professionalism and courtesy in dealing with the people whom we serve.
- Place a greater emphasis on performance auditing, which goes beyond bean-counting to examine by observation how effectively the people’s money is being spent, publishing reports on our findings.
- Use the office as a bully pulpit against soaring property taxes due to the ongoing downshifting of expenses from the State to the towns.
