Dear Fellow Residents of O’Fallon,
Smart development is vital for fostering sustainable growth, preserving our environment, and enhancing the quality of life for all residents. It requires meticulous planning—financial and otherwise—and careful consideration of key factors such as environmental impact, community needs and wants, and long-term sustainability.
When done right, smart development can boost economic prosperity while nurturing a sense of community, cultural richness, and social harmony. It makes our city a more desirable place to live, work, and thrive.
Unfortunately, when officials fail to first lay the necessary infrastructure for development, it places unnecessary burdens on our utility services, police force, fire department, traffic systems, and more. Many of O’Fallon’s current officials have gone against the wishes of the people by continuing to annex property and approve high-density apartment complexes and rental units without first ensuring the infrastructure is in place to support such growth.
This madness must stop. These officials must be held accountable for failing to represent the people’s interests, instead prioritizing their own self-serving agendas.
This is why I am running for City Council Member in Ward 4—to be a voice for the people and to ensure that smart development serves our community’s best interests.
Vote for me on April 8th, and together, we can build a stronger, smarter, and more sustainable O’Fallon.
Sincerely,
Amanda Taylor
Candidate for City Council Member, Ward 4
