During those years he became well established in the Peru Community both as a coach for the Peru Youth Commission and assistant wrestling coach for Peru high school.  In November of 2009, that community elected him Town Councilman.  Before becoming an elected official Kregg actively attended many board meetings asking questions and challenging board decisions.

3. What town issues concern you the most? 4. How would you address these issues? 

Kregg has the following concerns for this upcoming budget year.  As the liaison of the water department he is adamant about improving the water system by working with the employees.  The solution is to work closely with an engineering firm to enhance the quality of the Town’s water, which will be significance for the Peru Community.  Kregg is concerned about the damages to the highways and road caused by the Spring Floods and Hurricane Irene. He plans on utilizing FEMA and funding from the Federal Government, in order to keep costs at a minimum for the Town’s people.  Lastly, the town budget is of highest priority.  This year’s budget shows a concern due to a lack of funding; therefore it will be a challenge to keep taxes at a minimum as we have in the past 2 years .

Re-elect Kregg Bruno because he has already proven his loyalty to the tax paying community and families of Peru, while exercising proper etiquette and making informed decisions!
