I believe one of the biggest challenges facing Silvercreek Township is going to be finances. We need to maintain the township in good condition with the roads, our cemeteries, the fire department, etc., without spending on what is not needed or on things that we cannot afford, so that we do not have to ask the taxpayers for more tax dollars. Keep Silvercreek Township a proud place to live and to be a part of. | ||

| What is the biggest challenge facing Silvercreek Township and what plans do you have for solving that challenge? | ||
Silvercrek Township, like many local government entities, is facing decreased revenue and smaller budgets. Our biggest challenge is to continue to provide high quality essential serivces with less revenue. I will continue the township tradition of prudent, responsible spending because I do not believe additional levies are acceptable options for our citizens in these tough economic times. Like many households today, government must learn the art of doing more with less. | ||

| What is the biggest challenge facing Silvercreek Township and what plans do you have for solving that challenge? | ||
In today's tough economic times I feel that one of the greatest challenges as trustee of Silvercreek Township would be to keep essential funding for the Fire and Emergency Medical Services in the community of Jamestown and surrounding areas. In an effort to achieve financial stability and fiscal health for the township I would work diligently to ensure services, along with maintaining and updating roads, streets and cemeteries within the township. | ||
