Position sought: Mayor Why are you running for this position? I love this community. I care deeply about the health and future of our beloved home. We have been treading water for 12 years without vision or advancement. It is time to live up to our potential. It is time for change! I have always been forward thinking and have always had a vision for our future. I believe I am the one qualified to get us there. — What are your qualifications? I served on the board for nine years; three as village trustee, two as deputy mayor and four as mayor. In my four years as mayor, we completed Mid’s Park, Mill Pond Drive and the repaving of Main Street. We implemented several parking upgrades and expanded public transportation. We introduced multiple energy efficiency projects including the very successful Boy Scout Light Bulb Program. This program saved our community 2 megawatts of power annually, at a time when we were facing serious power issues. We completed a $14 million sewage treatment plant upgrade. While this upgrade was necessary, we had another related issue. We worked with local, state and federal officials to secure funding for an equally important upgrade to the main trunk sewer line. And, for the first time in the history of the village, we implemented asset management planning and multi-year budgeting.
