3. What county issues concern you the most?
The further development of the Plattsburgh Airport is a primary concern as well as keeping the County budget within the 2% tax cap, if possible.

I would investigate these issues as completely as possible to determine all available solutions.
5. Why should a person vote for you?
I have been able to deal with people and issues and could devote full time to the County issues if necessary.
