Clean House 2025: A Plan for Real Change and a Brighter Future

 

We are committed to addressing the pressing issues that have plagued our community for far too long. The current administration’s poor budget management, mounting debt, and lack of transparency have put us in a precarious state. Our campaign promises real change, focused on rebuilding trust, fiscal responsibility, and a stronger Village of Dolton. Here’s how we will achieve it:

 

1. Financial Responsibility and Budget Management 

Promise: We will implement a transparent and accountable budgeting process to ensure every dollar is spent wisely. No more wasteful spending. We will prioritize essential services and invest in our community's future.

 

2. Reducing Debt and Ensuring Fiscal Health  

Promise: We will develop a comprehensive plan to reduce our community's debt and restore fiscal health. By auditing all expenditures and cutting unnecessary costs, we’ll free up resources to invest in vital infrastructure and community programs.

 

3. Fixing the Fire Department Contract Issue 

Promise: After five years without a contract, our Fire Department deserves fair representation and support. We will immediately address this issue, negotiating a fair contract that ensures stability and security for these essential workers.

 

4. Transparency and Accountability 

Promise: We will create an open government where residents can see how their tax dollars are being used. Regular financial reports and public forums will keep you informed and involved. No more secrets—just clear communication and transparency.

 

5. Community Engagement and Trust Building 

Promise: We will work tirelessly to rebuild trust between the administration and residents. Through town hall meetings, surveys, and open dialogues, we’ll create a government that listens to and serves the people.

 

6. Improving Employee Morale and Trust  

Promise: We are committed to creating a positive and supportive work environment for all village employees. Employees will know their rights, have a voice in the administration, and receive the respect and transparency they deserve. Better communication and a more engaged workforce will drive the village forward.

 

7. Addressing the Infrastructure Crisis  

Promise: Our aging infrastructure needs immediate attention. We will prioritize fixing roads, water systems, and public facilities to improve safety and functionality for all residents.

 

8. Empowering Our Residents 

Promise: Every resident deserves a voice. We will ensure that your concerns are heard and addressed. By empowering our residents, we will build a stronger, more united community.

 

9. Forging a Community Benefit Agreement

Promise: We will work to establish a community benefit agreement between the Village of Dolton and the Dolton Park District to enhance recreational opportunities, improve park facilities, and ensure effective use of community resources for everyone.

 

Join us in restoring financial stability, transparency, and trust in our local government. Together, we can overcome the challenges we face and create a brighter, more prosperous future for the Village of Dolton. Let’s make our village a place we are all proud to call home.
