There are too many that I see, facing not just our community, but many others in the area. Since detail would be difficult in this forum, I'll attempt to be brief and as clear as possible.Originally Posted by yokes
1. Gowth needs to be better planned. It seems as though we build to build because there is a tax base created. We have many empty buildings and stores that could be fitted for new uses. We don't always need to build another empty building.
2. We are a first ring suburb. I have heard one board member say he felt the WSPD was already overstaffed. This is furthest from the truth. The rise in the crime rate in our area is certain to increase given the loss of jobs in this area.
3. Many of our volunteer fire companies are having difficulty recruiting new members. How much longer can any town sustain coverage with an all volunteer staff that is aging. Couple this with an economy that forces many people to work multiple jobs to survive, and you have a major issue down the road.
4. Better management of what the Town already has. It is sad when the Town Board is unable to tell the public how much revenue the Soccer Complex has earned, or even how much is charged for its use.
5. A more defined hiring practice.
I'll stop there. I guess what I see is a locality that does not seem to have a specific intent to their methods. Particularly Mr. Clark, who will not be missed by this resident.
