The single biggest issue in town is ______, and I plan to do this about it:
the majority of the presiding council does not listen to the tax payers. They have their own agenda and what I will do if elected is do my very best to get their voices heard again and act on their voice as it was in the long past.
Critical differences between me and my opponents:
Complete knowledge of the town's operations in the DPW and other departments that no one else has a clue in. The knowledge of contract negotiations between the unions and the town and what is right and what is wrong with them and always keeping OUR tax dollars used right. I'm very logical on issues which some may consider bipartisan to help the keep Enfield forward in our future.
Accomplishments:
I have accomplished things like the Lego soccer field, being President of the Enfield Soccer club for many years, helping our Food Shelf and Soup Kitchen with raising money to support their needs. Sponsoring the High school graduations thru Local 1029 donations.
Other issues:
Strong leader and a voice for the people who really care who need to be heard. Someone who WILL speak up for the right thing. I won't just go along with the party or parties but will voice my thoughts and support those who need me too.
What else would you like voters to know about you?
I am not your vote-getting politician by definition but the ear and voice of the taxpayers and the homeowners who have been denied access to the phrase and "We the People."
