If elected, will you support taking the dispute with Valley Waste to binding arbitration?

Yes I support taking the dispute with Valley Waste to binding arbitration. We don’t need 2 dump sites.

The lack of rural internet has been a pressing issue for over 15 years and while there are some concrete signs of preparation for some new installations, there still remains a number of County residents who will not be afforded the same level of internet service when it is all said and done. 

If elected, can you commit to advocating for the same level of service for all residents, including “final mile” residents? Yes or No 

I would do everything in my power to be supportive to make this happen.
