What are your top two or three priorities if elected?

1) Kaneville Post Office Restructuring 2) Kaneville Micro/Small Business Enhancement 3) No new / special / temporary, or increase taxation

Would you support freezing your taxing district’s levy until housing prices rebound? Why or why not?

It would depend upon more information gathered from the taxpayer’s position.

What one decision by the village board do you most disagree with and why?

At this time, I have no strong disagreements.

What was the biggest accomplishment of the board in the past year?

Reclaiming efforts to the telecom tax rate (7% state and 3% local) for each resident being charged on their home and cell phone usage to be based upon physical address instead of mailing address.

Why should voters elect you to office?

I feel I’m equally qualified for this position, the same as any other prudent resident within the community. I believe my diverse background and experience enhances the position of Trustee, from military service, broad & diverse facilities planning / management, business owner, livestock owner, non-profit community volunteer, and family caretaker.
