We asked Leelanau Township treasurer candidates the following questions:

1.) With the retirement of Denise Dunn comes a loss of more than 25 years of experience. This leaves big shoes to fill. If elected, what experience will you bring to the position of Leelanau Township treasurer?

2.) Leelanau Township is seeking a four-year 3.1-mill levy for fire and rescue purposes in November. If approved, in the first year alone, revenue of $1,717,457 is expected to be generated. How is this going to adequately fulfill the township’s needs going forward?

3.) With new technology/software in place to help manage the township books, how will you ensure you’re using the software to the best of you abilities?
