The single most pressing issue facing our city is , and this is what I intend to do about it. Our local economy. Both our residents and small businesses have been struggling through the pandemic and as we come out of it, we should do all we can to assist and ensure we all land on our feet. If we can rein in our spending and find new sources to diversify the source of our tax revenue, we can offer temporary concessions that will help alleviate some of the tax burden that falls on residents and small businesses.

The single most pressing issue facing our village is , and this is what I intend to do about it. The most pressing issue is also the most important responsibility of a Trustee to keep the residents of Burr Ridge safe and secure. I have always had a continuous goal of ensuring the safety of Burr Ridge residents and making it a top priority at the Board level. I will continue to prioritize the safety of our residents by making sure that Burr Ridge continues to have the best trained and best equipped police force, with the highest skilled and most dedicated policemen and policewomen available.

The single most pressing issue facing Ward 1 is , and this is what I intend to do about it. Ward 1 in Elmhurst includes neighborhoods such as College View, Pick Subdivision, the Tree Streets (between the Metra tracks and North Avenue), and the western half of City Centre. Residents of the First ward have voiced their concerns about several pressing issues, including stormwater management, construction site standards and code enforcement, and safety on neighborhood streets (in fact, my own child was hit last July by a motorist who ran through a stop sign).
With regard to these issues, I will work to ensure that the College View stormwater management project is completed, to develop construction site standards and code enforcement that minimizes the impact of development on neighboring residences and businesses, and to expand the city s approach to controlling high speeds on neighborhood streets.

The single most pressing issue facing our city is , and this is what I intend to do about it. A pressing challenge is the Covid-19 pandemic as it relates to our residents and the city s financial stability, business growth, and retention. Sales taxes, which are generated by local businesses, are the most significant revenue source (28%) of the city s general fund. General fund expenditures include departments such as police, fire, streets, and sanitation. Because of the pandemic, sales taxes in 2020 were down significantly, although not as much as predicted, and the pandemic is not over. Therefore, it will continue to have residual effects on our economy.
