Description

Many residents are outraged by the way the city spends our tax money and I believe the city council has lost touch with the average Portland resident. As the community with the highest combined income and property taxes in Ionia County, it is certain that many families have moved outside of Portland for no other reason than because of the high taxes. Sure, we’re a “cool city” and we have a lot of “cool stuff”, but the families who live and work here are tired of paying for “cool stuff”. We want well-maintained roads, clean water and a safe place to live.

My interest in city government started when the city spent over a million dollars to purchase a piece of farm land on the outskirts of town. Like many city residents I feel city hall is not making wise decisions when it comes to our tax money and I’m running for city council to end the wasteful and frivolous spending habits the city has developed. I want to bring fiscal responsibility back to city government and ease the tax burden of families suffering from the economic downturn.
