1. Analyze all expenditures! Cut waste and unneeded spending! Change the big Government mentality of constantly increasing budgets and always making sure that allotted budgets are spent on something so that they have the money in the budget next year! Stop repeating this overspending cycle perpetually.
2. We must change the Waterford Twp big spending mentality, as it is unsustainable increased costs to the taxpayers! The Best chance we have is with the Republican Ticket and me Sam Harris to be there with them asking do we need that or want that?
3. Let’s curb spending and then potentially lower taxes or stop increasing taxes to the maximum allowed by law every year!
4. I am a 25-year resident of Waterford Twp. I enjoy living in the community. I do not enjoy perpetually increasing taxes. I would like to retire in the community and house I live in now IF I can afford the taxes. I have worked hard my whole life and currently run two businesses. I am not a politician. I would like to get elected, change the mentality of the local government, and then get back out of government after one term if I can get the job done and someone will step up and continue my work. That is the plan now, after 4 years hand the torch on to another who will do the same as the next Waterford Twp Trustee. Please elect me as a Trustee and I will work on the taxation issue and attempt to bring the change needed to Waterford. I’ve been making payroll for my employees and paying taxes for the privilege for 31 years successfully. I’ve been a Glazing Contractor for 35 years now at Commercial Glass. Realtor Broker now at Easy Real Estate for 23 years making budgets and paying bills. I’ve been a Delegate since 2020 in District 9 Waterford. Trust me to go into our local government and work for you and attempt to lower your taxes! If it does not benefit the entire community of Waterford then we should not pay for it. If it is something that the private sector should do, then Waterford Taxpayers should not pay for it.                      

Increase services with the funds saved.  When you call 911 you want the best and you will get the best Police, Fire, EMT or required Waterford government department to show up! That is expected and that is what I will support 100%! We need the Waterford Municipal services to support our community. The Water department for our sanitation and fresh water! When we analyze our revenue and expenses, I think we will have plenty of money to maintain and increase Required Public Health and Safety services. Back the Police and Fire departments! Everything else is up for discussion openly in the community.

We need the residential streets of Waterford fixed with a long-term program. I will attempt to work with all in Waterford Twp Gov and Oakland County to utilize the processes that are in place for funding residential road repairs and attempt to find ways and new processes to get the roads fixed.  What we have now is not working to fix our residential roads. Right now, the Township is not focused on a roads program. I’ve been told it is not the sole Township responsibility which is partially correct.  Every system, policy and the way Township government works we have now, was put into place at one time. That does not mean we have to keep going down that road without change. It is time for change now. We need to think about how we get funds for all residents to fix our side streets as a priority over any new parks and recreation site purchase, or any other purchase. We need to see how we can do that with a minimal cost to individual tax payers to get their roads fixed. And if we can’t do it that way, we need to cut spending on everything else so that we taxpayers can afford to fix our own roads! We need to change the way things are done. We have constantly increased taxes annually, and I think everyone in the township will agree that we have a major problem with our deteriorating side streets. Elect me and my focus will be lowering taxes and fixing roads before spending on wish list projects.

I want all details for millages and bonds posted so voters can see the finical impacts and exactly what the requested funds are for in vivid details. If we Need it in the community and it benefits all, I would maybe vote yes if we can afford it as a community and as tax payers depending on current economic situations. If it is a want and not affordable, my personal vote would be no. Those decisions should be made by the taxpayer after they have all the real detailed information of what is being proposed and what the personal exact financial tax burden will be to them!
