You Deserve Better!

My name is Wayne Fellrath, and I am a candidate for Brookhaven Town Council in District 2. As far as community involvement is concerned, when I see a need, I get involved. That's what motivated me to run against incumbent Jane Bonner.
I see a need in the diverse communities that make up District 2. I see public safety, quality of life, property value and code enforcement issues that are not being addressed in a meaningful way.
The residents and businesses of District 2 deserve better. They should be able to count on their elected officials to be communicating with each other, and with community groups and government agencies.
It is unfortunate, and disrespectful to residents, that after almost 6 years in office, Ms. Bonner is complaining of a "disconnect" with county government. Isn't that connection HER JOB?
As town councilperson, it will be my responsibility to maintain the connections that will allow me to best serve my constituents. I will create a task force consisting of local civic leaders, elected officials, law enforcement, DSS and school district officials in order to identify, prevent and remedy unsafe and illegal situations within the district. An on-going dialogue among relevant agencies and officials is absolutely essential to effectively monitor and address situations that threaten the safety and quality of life of residents.
