Galion voters should vote for me because I have come up with possible solutions to pay for upgrades that are causing the increase in water and sewer rates. Our water and sewer rates are the highest in a 4 county area and 17% of the residents can't pay their bills now without the proposed increase. I also want to find ways to keep our local businesses healthy and add new businesses using incentives that aren't presently being implemented. I also support our safety services 100% and will oppose any cuts in those areas.
