Three axioms for going forward

Friends:

There are three axioms that are true.  One cannot reason them away, prove they are false, or deny their existence.

(1)  In all matters do what is right, what is fair, and what is honest.

(2)  What you do for one, you do for all.  No exceptions.

(3)  If the first and second axioms are not followed, unintended consequences will be significant.

When it comes to the business of the village, these truths must be followed.  Anything less will cause anger, frustration, and destroy trust.  The "good ole boy or girl system" has never worked and will never work.  What is done for one has to be done for everyone.  No exceptions

For instance, Building Permits.  It is not fair for one neighbor to pay for a Building Permit while another neighbor is told they do not have to pay because of friendship or a needed favor.  And, it is not fair to the village who loses the money that is used to meet the needs of its citizens.  

This being said, the Aldermen have started examining codes, inspection fees, and building permits.     Their job will not be easy, but knowing these Alderman, they will do what is right, what is fair, and what is honest.

If you have concerns, express them; if you have questions, ask them; if you have recommendations or suggestions; offer them.  Communication between elected officials and you are essential to good government.

                                 Very respectfully,

                                 Skip Blancett
