What do you see as the top issue facing county businesses in recruiting and retaining staff, and how do you believe it should be rectified?
I believe the top issue facing county businesses in recruiting and retaining employees is the lack of affordable housing in the county. To address this issue, developers should be encouraged to build smaller homes on smaller lots.
Should county government take an active role in sustaining and growing tourism, and, if so, what initiatives can the County take?
I believe County government should take an active role in sustaining and growing tourism, promoting our natural assets, the lakes, Kettle Moraine Forest and the Sheboygan Marsh. By continuing to support the current tourism opportunities such as the improvements at the Sheboygan County Marsh.
