ISSUES :
- Strengthen our power grid system: We must develop stronger communication ties between our city and DTE as a majority of our outages can be prevented through preventative measures like trimming trees and bushes that are overgrown and are intruding on our power line space which causes serious safety hazards to both people and animals. Our public services division and DTE should both be working on this preventative upkeep in order to prevent setbacks for our citizens in their business operations and daily lives.
- Reduce wasteful spending (cutting commissions and services that do not serve a specific government role or function in contributing to the running of our city should be reviewed with utmost detail)
- Strengthening our broadband connectivity is the key to success for both our businesses and residents. We must negotiate and work with all providers on a solution that will not need short-term fixing or upgrading.
- Strengthen and quicken our emergency disaster response resources (I would like to work on developing more budgets for this domain considering the recent storms and power outages has shown how much need there really is for preparedness)
- Cutting our taxes (taxes continue to rise at greater frequencies year after year. We are considered to be a moderate level tax rate city amongst our other Oakland County cities. But our rates are rising continuously)
- I will always support and promote private property rights as a member of city council. (I will work with the city manager and zoning personnel to review our zoning ordinances and our City Charter in order to modify and slash items that hinder or intrude on citizen’s rights to private property)
