Public Dialogue in Important

Clark Needs Public Dialogue

Right now in Clark, residents can speak for five minutes during town council meetings. This gives us a chance to share our thoughts and concerns. But there is a problem. The council does not have to respond. They can choose whether or not to answer us. If we want to solve real problems in our town, we need more than just five minutes. We need a true public dialogue.

Fixing Problems Is Not Radical: It’s Necessary

But instead of addressing our real challenges, our current leadership resorts to fear tactics, labeling practical solutions as “radical.” We, the Stronger Clark team, believe fixing our town isn’t extreme—it’s simply responsible. We’re here to prioritize our schools, restore local control, and bring transparency back to government. This election, vote for facts and common sense, not fear.

PILOT Hurts Schools

Here’s Why PILOT Agreements Are Bad for Clark’s Schools

Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreements can bring more development to help Clark grow, but they also shift the burden of funding our schools away from developers and onto families.
