Today, with great excitement, I, Frank Napolitano, am announcing that I will be seeking the position of Village Trustee of Bartlett in 2009. I have lived in Bartlett for over 6 years, and have been actively involved in athletics in the Park District, having coached my step daughter’s softball teams for the past 5 years. I am also an active member of the Bartlett Chamber of Commerce.

I have been attending Bartlett Park District Board meetings, and Village of Bartlett Board meetings for the past several months. I have spoken at the Village of Bartlett board meetings and to the people of Bartlett about many of the topics that are important to me and the people seem to agree.

Several issues that I feel very strongly about are;

A better environment for businesses in Bartlett

Attracting more new businesses to Bartlett

Improved schools for the students of Bartlett

School boundaries that make more geographic and common sense

Improving water quality in Bartlett

Fighting the Canadian National purchase of the EJ&E line

I feel if we can reduce some of the restrictions on businesses in the community and let our existing businesses do what they do best while attracting more new businesses to our community, the Village of Bartlett will be much better off. I want a Village Board that will begin to look at ways to reduce residential and business taxes, thus bringing more jobs to the area and more consumers of the products and services our businesses offer here in the Village of Bartlett.  I want to have a school district that understands and reflects the academic needs of our residents and not be burdened with the inherent unfocused and mismanaged practices of U-46.  I want health and safety to be the driving force behind our community’s water supply.  More succinctly, I want a viable infrastructure for the village of Bartlett that promotes a vibrant and sustainable environment for its residents for many years to come.

Bartlett is a great town, but it can still be an even better town.

Sincerely,

Frank Napolitano
