Over the next several weeks the City Council’s Committee on Finance will be reviewing every aspect of Mayor Elorza’s proposed budget and its potential impacts on our constituents from tax levies to services provided.

I look forward to working with Mayor Elorza and our teams to come up with a budget that addresses the serious issues we face head-on. I hope together we can address the concerns of our constituents, including infrastructure needs, and further economic development across the City; and other quality of life issues that affect every corner of Providence.

I, along with my colleagues on the Council are committed to working with the Mayor and his team in producing a budget that is financially prudent and equitable to the city as a whole.

–Sabina Matos, Providence City Council President
