Thursday evening, Illinois native and small business owner David Paul Blumenshine announced his candidacy for Normal Town Council trustee.
Blumenshine's goal for the Normal community is to hold the town council morally and financially accountable. He believes the voice of Normal taxpayers and small businesspeople have not been represented or respected.
He plans to run his campaign with moving budget items from vanity projects to local needs, including roads.Â
âNormal has the ability to be a leader for other communities in the state of Illinois by modeling fiscal responsibility. Normalites have pleaded with the local government to help grow our community rather than burden the suffering with tyrannical shutdowns as well as utilizing liquor commissions to close restaurants and bars,â Blumenshine said in a statement.
