There are other fiscal technicalities that impact taxes and spending including tax abatements and PILOT programs. My promise to you is that when we spend money we know it is your money. Our current administration treats surplus (taxpayers savings account) as found money just to get the budget approved while government waste actually increases. Our leadership will bring businesses home without compromising the quality of our water. Most of us don’t think twice about drinking water but we’ve seen communities across the country ruined by failing to ensure its cleanliness and delivery. This too is without additional cost to the taxpayers. This eliminates budget busting taxes in any given year. We will start by repairing and repaving 180-miles of municipal roads.

Our capital improvements program is a long-term circular approach to spending that will allow us to continually maintain our town. I am happy to elaborate details in a debate or in any other forum but it will be at no additional cost to the community. This will be accomplished by managing new officers with experienced and retiring officers. and I are running on three major issues that will not increase your taxes: safety of our children, capital improvement and clean and plentiful drinking water.įirst, protecting our children in school buildings needs to be addressed ASAP and our plan adds at least one full-time police officer in every school. Rather than concentrating on the emotions resulting from reckless partisan political decisions, I offer solutions to these problems. We cannot ignore the adverse effects this has on our roads, water, and municipal services. Despite this, we continue to build additional residential units without a common-sense plan for growth. Washington Township is experiencing a downward cycle, from the increasing number of closing businesses to a climbing number of abandoned homes. Why are you running for Washington Township Council?
