“The Secretary of the Treasury is an excellent resource in this administration and his achievements are proven. As the government’s CFO, we have made it a priority to participate and update the audited financial statements. We need to have an accurate map of our finances so that we can responsibly determine the tax solutions we need. In order to leave the Council, we must finish and publish the updated financial statements, maintain a balanced budget and responsibly adjust the public debt “, said the previous governor.
