At the current time, I am opposed to the bond measures and associated tax increase that are on the municipal election ballot.

We could and should spend at least a year applying our current workforce to doing maintenance and repair to see what we can accomplish out of pocket. There is a lot we can do to improve our infrastructure without great expense or obligation (bonds). We can look at bonding for additional work at a later date, while improving the quality of life for our community immediately.

We need to ask: Do we really want to increase a tax, expense or fee for services at this time?...
