Belleville Village Board Candidate Michael Parkin
March 15, 2018
Occupation: Business Owner
Years lived in village: 32 years
Incumbent? No
Have you been on the village board or held any other public office before? If so please describe: Yes I have; I was appointed to the Village of Belleville Lake Advisory Committee. I have held a position of appointment for 2 terms on the Village of Belleville Community Development Committee.
Why are you running for village board? For the Village of Belleville to grow and prosper change must happen and change can only happen if the people have a choose. To have a well providing community the members must be heard and active.
What issues do you find most important to the village board? List your top three priorities: Any and all issues are important; if a Village representative states otherwise they do not need to be in a position of leadership. For me to pick my top 3 and put a personal agenda before the people I am to represent does not help anyone. Issues happen and one must be able to flow with, stop or get ahead of them. I am not afraid to vote NO on something, one must be able to hold true and defend their decisions. Be able to explain the decision in a non partisan, impartial way.
