This information is provided by the candidate

Fiscal Responsibility

I want to have your hard earned tax dollars work for you and your community. I would like to see improvements made to the business district, to bring in new revenue, and to keep all store fronts occupied and viable. I believe we can reduce unneeded expenditures, and redirect money to necessary improvements.

Work to Revitalize our Community

I believe, as a community, we can obtain grants both on a Federal and County level to assist us in making our community a better and safer place to live. I would like to see more collaboration with neighboring towns and boroughs, so that community services might be shared. I would like to increase our police force to protect our homes and streets. I would like to promote and create a more comprehensible Crime Watch in our borough. My goal is to open doors for volunteerism in Bellevue( read up days, environmental programs, Memorial Park activities and monthly community activities that would introduce new and long time residents to one another).

Establish a Cohesive Borough Council

We need to put politics aside and begin to work together, beyond party lines, to have your local government work for you. At this level of local government, we must focus on the needs of our citizens. You are our number one priority. We need to enhance our relationship with our school district. The students in our schools are our future. I will work towards a long term strategic plan, in all areas of local government, that will enrich our borough.
