It's been just over five months since being sworn in as a Council Member and goodness have I learned a lot! One of the big things I am learning that is that there are a lot of financial obligations even when not actively campaigning. From attending events to support local organizations and participate with residents, to printing and mailing welcome letters to new residents, to paying to file an Article 78 against the Mayor, there are a lot of expenses involved with serving the community well.
I recognize that wallets are tight and getting tighter, so I do understand if it is not in your budget to donate right now. But if it is, every small bit counts! Will you donate?
Thank you,
Shikole Struber
Troy City Council District 2
