What are the top issues facing this district/municipality and how would you work to resolve it?
As a lifelong village resident, I want to be able to create a transparent partnership between village residents and the village board for decision making issues and allow for residents to openly express concerns and needs.
What are other key issues facing the district/municipality, and how would you work to resolve them?
Issues that I believe to be important as well as require review and needs assessments start with, but are not limited to sewer management, broadband availability, lake restoration, budgetary reviews, street infrastructure, cost effective savings for the village and others.
