The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is , and this is what I intend to do about it. Promoting outdoor activity during the winter. Cross-country skiing and snow-shoe hiking are excellent outdoor exercise when there is snow on the ground. However, they are difficult on fresh snow, which needs to be tamped down first. I plan to explore how the trail preparation is performed and add the needed devices to the park district s equipment, with a schedule to process the cart paths at the golf course after a new snow. To help promote this we must also look into the rental of skis and snow shoes from the pro-shop during the winter.
Algonquin Village Trustee
The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is , and this is what I intend to do about it. Over the years we have addressed the many issues on communication and transparency to our residents and businesses. I will work with staff and other board members that we continue with our programs agenda and if the opportunities come along where we can continue to improve we will do so without hesitation.

Deerfield Park District Commissioner - 24 years
The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is , and this is what I intend to do about it. Covid 19. I intend to continue full support of our Park District staff who have been outstanding in their ability to pivot and adapt to constantly changing governmental mandates, guidelines, and protocols throughout the last year. They have made the Deerfield Park District one of the most successful districts in the entire Chicago area in maintaining the operation of programs, services, and facilities through the entire pandemic. This support would be subject to the fiscal responsibility requirements that the current Board has always adhered to.
No
The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is , and this is what I intend to do about it. There is a lack of financial transparency in the township. A resident cannot obtain financial records unless they request them by filing a Freedom of Information Act form. Even though the township was closed for nine and a half months in 2020, their entire budget was spent. How can that be? Where did the taxpayer money go? Illinois taxpayers are under one of the heaviest tax burdens in the country. Their money should be spent wisely and with accountability. As a trustee, I will move as quickly as possible to post the financials on the township website so that they may be easily accessible to any resident who wishes to view them.
