Questions & Answers

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

I will continue to be a part of a very effective government that has its citizens as a top priority. I will try to keep an even and comfortable mix of residential, business, and parks with recreation. I will be conservative with the money available and still maintain the best level of services and safety. Whereever business encroaches on residential I would like to see buffers increased and possibly a donation of green space by the developer. I will continue to always do what's best for Sycamore Twp.

3. What steps would you take to ensure that all public facilities are accessible to people with disabilities? (100 words limit)

All newer facilities are accessible. We work with owners of businesses that are not as new and try to get them to provide even more than the law requires.

4. What specific steps will you take to expand recycling services in your community? (100 words limit)

We have had great success with recycling already. However, trash companies have increased the costs to the residents. I will work with these companies to make recycling more affordable.

5. What steps would you take to provide affordable housing for all residents of your community? (100 words limit)

Unfortunately, the local government does not set the housing prices in their community. The residents of Sycamore Township are residents because they were able to afford the homes where they live. There is, in addition, no undeveloped areas in which to build more affordable housing.
