Our Platform
Right now, the Village faces some of the most critical issues we have seen in quite some time. These issues are all emerging at once. If we have a dysfunctional Board, driven by one party's political agenda, we will find ourselves the victims of our own creation.
We believe there is a better way by have a Board of Trustees that:
​
-
Will engage with all residents, no matter what "group" they belong to
-
Won't be beholden to only one political party and agenda, but will always consider all our residents - first and only
-
Can be collaborative and work together - no secret meetings, infighting or backstabbing.
-
Can disagree constructively while focusing on getting things done
