2 years ago, term limits prevented me from running for reelection. Now I have been asked to run again and have agreed to do so. During my 8 years, the PEP Party Village Board rebuilt the financial foundation of this Village and began the task of renewal which should wait no longer. I like to think that I contributed to that process when I was on the Board and, with your support, will do so again. It hurts me to say that the last 2 years have been less than the best.
Candidates run for office.
Once elected, the should become Trustees expected to do the business of the people who elected them. Instead we have had perpetual candidates running never-ending campaigns, writing statements during meetings instead of paying attention, and speaking in sound bites in hope of getting quoted in the local press. If you are reading this letter, then you know what I mean. One week its signed by a candidate, the next by a board member, followed by the board member's mom so if you don't know the maiden name, you will think it is someone new. Brookfield has been here for 107 years.
