Questions & Answers

1. What services do you believe should be considered basic and essential for the Township?

Neighborhood preservation. Fire and Rescue maintained at the highest level of professionalism. Roads and sidewalks maintained and connected. Economic development which provided good paying, quality jobs for township residents and is fiscally responsible.

2. How would you balance the Township Budget?

The township's annual spending has been reduced by $6,344,029 (17.2%) in the first 3 years of my term. I will continue to look for ways to reduce spending and encourage township employees to use public funds wisely.

3. Citizen engagement is important to the health of local government. In what ways do you support citizen engagement?

The township has 8 citizen committees. I have personally encouraged interested residents to become involved. This effort has seen an increase in participation. Several public board meetings have had record attendance and participation. I established 'Office Hours' twice each month to answer any questions and concerns residents may have.
