Great thread, thanks for asking!
I'm running for Village Trustee again because I love my hometown and work diligently to make it a better place for us all to live and do business.
Since my being elected, we have replaced the oppressive, short-sighted and self-serving village management with a Mayor and team that really works well together for the betterment of the village.
Several different Village beautification projects have been undertaken, including the acquisition and development of our Randall D.Dalton Veteran's Memorial Park. The establishment of a Pontoon Beach Park Commission enables our community to now apply for grant money that was previously unavailable to us.
No, I'm not "on" the new administrative team, but I've made sure my voice is heard at the table, and I have volunteered many hours of work on both "their" projects, and my own.
There has been an online community presence developed both here on GCG and on facebook that informs our residents and invites their input.
In my position of being politically independent from the rest of the board and candidates, the voters can be sure that I will never put the political "party" before the residents of Pontoon Beach.
No one does anything alone, here. There is a great group of committed residents who were just waiting for their opportunities to shine, and shine they have. There is much more yet to do, and I humbly ask the voters to please allow me to keep my seat at the table and continue to help move our Village forward.
