Stated proposal

Supports a zero-percent tax increase and seeking efficiencies.

Action: Use existing resources and require trade-offs for additions.
Timing / cost: Not specified in reviewed statement / Not specified in reviewed statement

A public statement is documented. No election victory, individual control, future funding or delivery is implied.

Does zero percent refer to the Township levy, tax rate or household bill, and what changes would pay for it?

Measure to seek: Explicit target definition followed by adopted budgets and transparent service trade-offs.
