Strong candidate for Fox River Grove

Posted March 28, 2013 4:40 am

As a retiring trustee of eight years with the village board of Fox River Grove, I would like to recommend to all the citizens in Fox River Grove to vote for Tom Anderson as a village trustee on April 9.

He has been a resident of Fox River Grove since 1999. He served as a volunteer firefighter in Fox River Grove for 12 years, most of that time as a lieutenant.

He has been a member of the zoning board for the past four years.

Tom believes in a strong fiscal approach to government keeping real estate taxes low as possible and at the same time working on maintaining a balanced budget with a tax restraint in mind to help protect the homeowner from higher real estate taxes.

He favors a long-term plan for growth and control of cost. Being a commander in the U.S. Coast Guard in Desert Storm and a senior officer in American Steamship Company provides him a strong ssense of leadership and financial responsibility.
