Background
It has always been Kathee’s assertion that the Town’s budget is an “accounting” of the community’s priorities. Or put another way, a reflection of what the community values. With the community’s support, she will continue to make protecting our pure drinking water, promoting clean, renewable energy, providing affordable housing opportunities, balancing the town budget, and addressing the pressing needs of our children, our seniors and our hard-working families, top priorities. Prior to her service on the Town Board, Kathee served for nine years on the Springs School Board, the last two as president, delivering a quality education to Springs students while protecting the taxpayer’s pocketbook.
