1. Why are you running for township office? What experience, skills, talents or qualities do you have to offer the public? I am running for Treasurer to try and help the residents and businesses in the Township. I’ve been a truck driver for 35 years and an owner operator for 20 years. Running a business requires the ability to work hard, pay the bills and get along with others. As Treasurer I will do my best to make sure the townships monies are spent in a wise and prudent manner.
2. What are the top three issues/priorities facing the township and how would you go about addressing them?
I think the top 3 issues are:
A. Shrinking property values
B. Loss of revenue
C. High taxes
These are some very complex issues and I will do my best to work with the Supervisor, Clerk and others to do the the best job with the citizens and businesses monies to get the most for our hard earned dollars.
3. What would you do to increase public involvement/input in township decision-making? As far as public involvement goes that is why we vote. Be heard, if you don’t vote don’t cry. These are open
meetings and all are welcome. I also believe it should be majority rules, not the squeaky wheel.
