What are the top issues facing this district/municipality and how would you work to resolve it?
I would say maintaining and upgrading our village's aging streets and infrastructure, some of which have seen a period of neglect. Identifying and prioritizing what the Village's needs are, exactly like the current board is doing now. I would like to help continue that progress that is being made.
What are other key issues facing the district/municipality, and how would you work to resolve them?
All villages need to keep an eye towards outside influences such as crime, drugs etc. In keeping these problems in check, it helps our local business' stay successful and maintains citizen's feelings of security. Like anything else, bringing any problems to light and board-discussion would lead to an appropriate course of action.
