Why? A: Besides keeping our tax increases to a minimum, our infrastructure needs to be upgraded in certain areas. Sidewalks need to be repaired and sewer lines need upgrading. Upgrades are also necessary in our water system. n Give three primary goals for your term of office on the Village Board. How do you intend to achieve them? A: Sidewalks: I sit on the Sidewalk Committee and we will be presenting a five-year plan in the near future to the board. Alternative Energy: I am in charge of Alternative Energy and am looking at ways the village can become more energy friendly. For example, solar power - if and where possible. I would also like to see the Village convert to LED lighting wherever possible (street lights, Village Hall, etc.). Parking: This is a major problem facing the downtown right now, not only for shoppers but for business owners and their employees as well. I am in charge of the Parking Committee and we working to put a plan together to present to the village.  n What will you bring to the office of trustee that will make the Village of Warwick a better place in which to live and to do business? A: The experience of having been on the board for the past eight years has been invaluable. I will continue to be honest and hard working to the best of my abilities. I am hoping that the various committees that I am currently on will help keep the village a vital and wonderful place to live, shop and raise your children.
