Keeping township expenses and taxes down

By Douglas F. "Doug" Williamson

As the incumbent candidate, I believe that the key is meeting the needs of the diverse residents of Upper Providence and the 2nd District as inexpensively as possible.

With that, different groups have different aspects of their priorities. Increasing taxes impact all residents, but may have a greater impact on seniors on a fixed income. Services are important to all residents, but families with school age children may have a greater need for recreation outlets. All residents want their streets and infrastructure kept up, but some areas may need more immediate care that would be financed from a finite source of funds, delegating some other residents needs to a later date of completion. Our Council works hard to maintain the current level of service to our community at responsible rates. We are sensitive to the needs of our neighbors and their concerns. With my re-election, I will continue to serve you, the residents of the 2nd district and Upper Providence.
