Patch Election Q&A: Question #1

Welcome to our Patch Q&A with the Montgomery Village Board candidates. This is where we let the seven candidates dig a little deeper, and explore the issues facing the village.

We asked all seven a series of five questions, taken from suggestions either emailed in from readers or posted to this site. The candidates were given no word limit, so some of these answers can get a little long. That’s why we’ve linked them all separately below. We’ll be running one question and one series of answers per day this week, so come back tomorrow for the next one.

Here’s the first question:

Just about all the candidates so far have said Montgomery needs to raise more revenue. What are your specific ideas to accomplish this? And what are your ideas to reduce expenses? What, specifically, would you cut out of the current budget?
