Smart Voter Political Philosophy for Alison S. Dobbins

Candidate for
Council Member; Township of Upper Darby; Ward 5

This information is provided by the candidate

Responsible Government

We need open government which holds itself accountable to the residents. I want to bring balance to Township Council, which has not included a Democrat in over 30 years. I will push for term limits to encourage new leadership and fresh ideas. I will make myself available to my constituents via phone and email.

Fiscal Responsiblity

We need to control property taxes and make public how the Township are using our tax dollars. We need to explore new ways to save money and build alternative revenue lines.

Increased Communication

As an at-home mom, I'm very aware of what is happening in our neighborhoods. I'm at home when the street cleaner drives down the center of the street because no one knows to move their cars. No cleaning schedule is posted on the street or on the Township website. This is just one example of how better communication about existing services could benefit residents.
