What are the top issues facing this district/municipality and how would you work to resolve it?

Right now getting the county board to approve the Hydrogeological study in Green County. It will take three years to complete though it can not be used as regulatory. BUT it will give the county another tool to better understand our county's ground water.



What are other key issues facing the district/municipality, and how would you work to resolve them?

Saving our sustainable family farms which hold a long history in our county. Keeping farmers up to date with new technologies in crop and animal management. (UW Extension)
