Our Vision
Thank you for letting me share my thoughts and aspirations for Flossmoor!
Job Number One: The single most important objective of village government is to provide Flossmoor residents with high quality public services at the lowest reasonable cost possible. Excellent police, fire, and public works services are the backbone of why people move to and stay in Flossmoor. I will ensure that this continues in the future.
We must also provide community programs that enhance and maintain the quality of life in Flossmoor. Flossmoor Fest, The 4th of July Parade, Winter Fest, and The Farmer’s Market help to maintain a “spirit of community” for residents and their families and must continue. Community programs and village commissions that involve residents are critical to the fabric of Flossmoor’s quality of life.
The Flossmoor Planning, Zoning, Public Arts, Community Relations, and all of the other village commissions serve important functions including harnessing the enormous talents, intelligence, and abilities of Flossmoor residents for public benefit. It is critical that Village Government ensure that existing as well as new programs are provided so that the quality of life for our residents continues to improve.
For instance, we need to form the Flossmoor Green Environment Commission, which would be made up of resident volunteers, to study, research, and recommend green environment policies for our Village. I have spoken with knowledgeable and talented Flossmoor residents who are anxious to start work on this needed commission.
Job Number Two: Flossmoor residents need a tax break! We must do more than just “maintain status quo” when it comes to paying for high quality Village services that residents deserve and expect. Real estate property taxes have escalated out of control which jeopardizes home values as well as residents’ ability to keep, maintain, purchase, and sell homes in Flossmoor.

As mayor I will explore new ways of achieving economic development, including green environment activities. I will work not only to attract new retail and commercial business development to Flossmoor but I will at the same time vigorously look outside Flossmoor for grants, awards, and funding for projects that are going to be available. I will be more proactive and create the regional, state, and federal relationships that are necessary to make certain that Flossmoor receives its share of state and federal funds.
I will become more actively involved with South Suburban Mayors & Managers Association; serve on appropriate state commissions such as the Illinois Municipal League; and go to Springfield and Washington if necessary to knock on doors and fight for the economic funds that Flossmoor needs and deserves.
I am also determined to work alongside a trained and experienced full-time grant writer to increase our ability to obtain more economic development. Green environment activities must be substantially increased if Flossmoor is to take advantage of upcoming Federal and State environmental funding projects.
Summary: I have the energy, the drive, and the skills to accomplish these goals in this difficult economy.
I want to keep Job Number One moving forward by continuing with providing the highest quality village services at the lowest reasonable possible cost and at the same time, focus on making sure Job Number Two gets done by creating those relationships that are necessary to obtain additional economic development for Flossmoor.
