As the demographics change in your township, how do you plan to provide for basic services? Answer from Bill Holmes: During my first term as a Township Supervisor, we weathered one of the worst economic periods in decades. The experience of making difficult budget decisions underscored the importance of finding ways to maintain services in a financially sustainable way. We will achieve this by engaging residents to understand their priorities, consistently investing in our infrastructure and retaining a qualified staff.
