Team Talmage asks :

Here is what we stand for...

  • Dedication to keeping Milan rural
  • Commitment to preserving Milan's environment
  • Keeping town taxes low and standing up for Milan on school taxes
  • Open and honest government
  • Encouraging public participation in all aspects of government; about the people's interest
  • Respect for the people of Milan
  • Civil and respectful public behavior
  • Fair and consistent enforcement of town laws and zoning regulations
  • Keeping Milan accessible to all of today's citizens...seniors, youth, and low and moderate income people
  • Discouraging outside development

Back to What ?

  • Back room deals with special interests
  • Development under yesterdays rules, despite the impact on the Town and the community
  • No ideas to preserve and protect Milan or control the development surge from the south
  • Tax increases of the last administration; misuse of public funds as evidenced by the history of town hall
  • Closed government of the past; back room deals
  • Personal and political agendas on the town board; about power and control
  • Loud and disrespectful behavior in Town meetings
  • No proposal on how to overcome the growing lack of affordable housing for moderate income people, senior citizens and young families
