- Bob's first priority is and continues to be fiscal responsibility and maintaining a balanced budget. Transparent use of the taxpayers' money is essential as well as long term planning for infrastructure and services. Considering the many long term costly improvements and property acquisitions we have made, all are paid in full.
- Bob's second priority is Public Safety. Our Fire/EMS Department is reliably available to our residents in their time of need, in a cost-effective manner. The average response time is 6 minutes, a major improvement from the all volunteer days. Ellsworth hosts the Sheriff's substation #2 and the Sheriff's Department provides their services at no cost to the township.
If re-elected as Trustee, Bob will continue to execute wise spending of the taxpayer dollar. Balanced budgets, spending transparency and cost-saving measures remain paramount. Bob will strive to pursue grants and plan for the future of Ellsworth Township.
Supporting first responders and investing in the town's infrastructure will only strengthen the town's stability and quality of life. Safety continues to be a top concern of Bob's. For nearly a decade, he created, maintains and manages the Ellsworth Township Crime Watch Facebook Page. Recognizing that crime has no boundaries, the site serves Ellsworth and all Western Mahoning County communities. Bob developed and oversees ways to keep the public informed:
- Facebook: Everything Ellsworth Ohio
- Instagram: @ellsworthohio
- Township Website: ellsworthohio.com
By focusing on smart financial planning and proactive safety measures, Bob will continue working to ensure Ellsworth township remains a safe, thriving and financially stable place for all residents.
