Which issues do you most want to address if elected and how will you do this? It is very important that the financial facts of dissolution be presented accurately to village residents. Current village debt will be assessed to all village residents. We will have little or no control on how this is done by the township, and these assessments are not deductible on our income tax returns. In many cases our ‘net cost? could actually increase.
If elected, will you work for or against dissolving the Village of Goodrich government? Not in favor of dissolution of village government, but will support bringing this issue to a legal vote of village residents.
