Questions & Answers

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

Government officials are public servants to the voters and stewards of their public assets. Springfield Township must properly use public policy in order to manage necessary public services such as roads and sanitation, insure public safety through police and fire, and create an atmosphere where the free market economy can flourish through private industry with a minimum of government regulation.

2. How would you balance the Township Budget?

Every year and every day a thorough evaluation of every dollar spent should be made in order to be certain that each is being spent legally, properly and wisely. Efficiency and performance reviews must continue to play an integral role. Due to the phasing out of estate tax revenue over the next few years, the Trustees will be forced to look at how the reserve fund will play a part in supplementing that loss. With a fragile economy and stressed personal budgets, tax increases are not an option.

3. What actions will you take to support clean air?

My responsibilities as Fiscal Officer does not allow for any direct action on this issue.
