Why was this in the Mayors message and what does this have to do

Sea Isle City - Why was this in the Mayors message and what does this have to do with the budget ? “I also want to talk about working together. That has been our common theme for so long for one reason – it’s the way to get things done. It doesn’t mean we can’t disagree – it means we work together in spite of our disagreements; we listen to each other, we respect each other, and we find common ground. It’s not hard to do; and we’ve made it our mantra here” said the Mayor
