Fiscal Responsibility & Budget Oversight
Dr. Bennardo campaigned on a promise of fiscal responsibility, arguing that his most important role would be financial oversight of the Town’s spending. He was keenly aware that Huntington’s families are struggling to make ends meet, and therefore worked tirelessly to maximize efficiencies while simultaneously upgrading services for residents.
He helped prepare budgets that keep Town spending at less than 10% of the total property tax bill.
He ensured that Huntington remained one of only two regional Towns that did not pierce the tax cap in 2025.
His commitment to financial prudence contributed to the Town’s AAA Bond Rating and zero fiscal stress designation.
