ISSUES
ISSUES IMPORTANT TO RILEY
GET ON BOARD
I don't criticize without solutions and actions. The current attitude is very stale. I spoke with residents and there is a blaring lack of transparency regarding our local offices and their methods. Anyone paying attention should be upset that the township is dead set wasting resources on pettiness and maintaining the status quo rather than being responsive and helpful stewards of our tax dollars. Working on no-cost solutions to increase residents access to local government is my #1 priority, getting information to the residents quickly and accurately.
As a business owner myself I have experience budgeting, planning, and executing that I will apply to keep Auburn great! Like most residents I know many of the investments downtown are a massive improvement over what was there before. The hardwork of local families. I believe local officials should be supporting them rather than putting up roadblocks to their success. I will do whatever is needed to support our local family businesses and farmers just like I support my own family. The excitement, sense of community and jobs small businesses bring should be welcomed.
I am a strong believer in personal freedom and property rights. The growth of Auburn is inevitable because the overwhelming positives of living in Geauga County. The families choosing our town, a rural area, want more open land and privacy, free from excessive interference. Even though there may be friction, I understand the need for a balanced approach. Specializing in real estate for 18 years, trust I will protect home values and let people use their own land freely. We need responsible policy while reducing taxes and unnecessary expenditures. Let's bring positive open collaboration to our neighbors and township.
Let Freedom Reign!
