I would like to see mutual aid agreements between the county and municipalities in the sheriffs and police departments not just the fire departments.
I would use our current zoning that we have in place.
I think everyone should have to show a photo ID at
The polling location.
Yes, I would. We are currently in the process of going through a traffic study with public involvement.
The safety of our citizens is the most important thing we can do also keeping taxes low is a priority"
