Council member Matthew Bentley is making his run for mayor, hoping to convey his expertise from the council chambers into town’s prime job this November.

“This race is about the process versus the people, and I’m firmly with the people,” Bentley mentioned.

He factors to addressing what he argues are particular evaluation inaccuracies and giving residents a gradual presence in guiding coverage.
“The people should have a voice when it comes to where the special assessments are decided instead of being imposed from city hall,” Bentley mentioned.
Bentley says whereas the street food plan and fixing Barry Road have gone years with out restore, he believes each council member has a much bigger position in making Hillsdale the center of small-town America.
“Many of my fellow councilmen talk about a bright, beautiful future and have a vision for Hillsdale. Without taking accountability for the projects that have already come and gone, and many of which have failed,” Bentley mentioned.
Bentley notes enhancing metropolis infrastructure as one other precedence and factors to the county jail needing essentially the most consideration.
“We do not have sufficient jail space, and while that’s not directly a city responsibility, it does affect us directly,” Bentley mentioned.
The Hillsdale mayoral election is about for November 4th, and Bentley says the hallmark of his marketing campaign shifting ahead is easy: “It’s for the people.”
