South Cnosby is my home - community concenns one mine too. The Reeve's oflflice pnovides the oppolztunity to mahe the gneatest contribution. Z)Complex challenges flace us in the flutune, budget ncstJLaints, changing govennment envinanment, demands flan assistance, etc. Councils must be inflamed, pnovide bette/L communication, eflflicient administnation, eflflective use ofl tax dollaas and a vigilant eye flan appantunities. â€In council 1 have wonhed hand to achieve pnompt action flan the people ofl South Cnosby. As Reeve, I can do even mane to biting aespansibility and accountabe to council. 2)Some ofl the mast impantant issues will be flinancial planning and management, land use and community planning, and the pnotectian ofl huitage landmanhs and buildings. I )I fleel that my pnoven business expenience and past expenience on township and County council can be a beneflit to the community. ZHmpo/ztant issues at this time: holding the tax line so people can mm a home,- because flanming no longm able to paovide a lange enough sou/ice ofl income to the municipality, attempts should be made to alt/Luci otheJL basic industjzies to anea.

Keeping awane ofl eve/Ly available gnant flnom highen levels ofl govennment can assist us in teaching these goals with minimal bunden to the local home-ownen. HSouth Cnosby desenves open, nesponsive, eflflicient local govejmment. I believe my expuience in positions ofl nesponsibility and my knowledge ofl the township would be useflul in pnamting these goals. ZlMaoni issues include: pnocu/zing lange/L giants flnom the Pnovince flan the imphovement and maintenance ofl noads and equipment; special help flan cont/tolling the Gypsy Math and nestoching ofl bass in speciflic lakes: Eflflicient management ofl taxâ€"paye/is' money so its beneflits may be flelt township wide. 114s in any anganizatian, new ideas and new input ane vital.

ZHmpo/itant issues to be dealt with include: land use and development and the neconciliatian ofl the demads ofl yean~nound nesidents with those ofl seasonal nesidents and tau/lists. I)! fleel mane action is needed in the township and I am willing get involved in . moving the township flonwa/Ld. . 2†see naads as an impontant issue flan all nesidents as well as a planned appnoach to nee/Leational and cultunal activities flan aun young people. (One to be elected) â€The Pnovincial govennment decision to flully flund the Sepanate School system and the need flan eflflective nepnesentation not in canfllict with any flutune political hopes and aspi/taiions. 2)]mpnove the quality ofl education with what flunding is available and pnaduce some cancnete nesults on behalfl ofl the taxpayw' dollans.
