The Peru Gazette

The Peru Gazette posed six questions to each of the four candidates for the Peru Town Board. Here are Kregg Bruno’s responses to the questions stated below.

Summarize your educational background, primary employment, a little about your family and your past community involvement. How will your background and/or successes assist you as a town council member? What town issues concern you the most? How would you address these issues? Why should a person vote for you? What party lines will your name appear on?

I married my wife Bonnie in 1987 and moved to Peru to raise my family, Christopher and Katie, and send them to Peru School where Bonnie and I both graduated from. I got involved in the community, coaches youth soccer, softball, and baseball for 12 years. My interest in politics began when I started attending board meetings in which nothing was being accomplished and the town of Peru was not being properly represented.

I want to continue to represent the people of Peru because I like the direction the Town is going in. The present Town Board has produced many new accomplishments that we should be proud of. The present Board has been able to set politics aside, work as a bi-partisan group, set and achieve goals and strive to keep Peru a great place to live and raise a family.

Budget time is always a crucial time of the year. With new tax caps, rising health care, and the importance to keep taxes affordable, its critical to make important financial decisions. Keeping the roadways and sidewalks up to date, as well as building new safe route to school, are always important in my decision making. Safe and clean water are a must throughout any community, and our Water and Sewer Departments have met the challenges. To continue to meet the needs of the community is also very important to me. Improvements to our new Heyworth Village walking trail and Parks, to keep a happy healthy community is something I’ll keep striving for. I’ll be going door to door and answering any question people may have before the election.  I want to thanks everyone for their past support and future support to continue to help Peru to grow and remain a great place to live.
