Meet the Candidate: Steve Adams

Name: Steve Adams

Occupation: Residential Loan Officer, GMAC Mortgage

Length of time living in Warminster Township: 50 Years

What organizations are you involved with locally? Board Member, Centennial Education Foundation; Board Member, Warminster Park and Recreation Conservation Board.

Taxes are always of interest to residents, especially in these tough economic times. What suggestions do you have to improve the efficiency of the school district to save tax dollars? Lobby State Government for return of state funding dollars. Correct the inequity in the outdated scale system that requires transfer of funds to charter schools, sometimes far exceeding the actual cost of a particular student. Generate income from our new high school facilities, i.e. Fields, Auditorium and Planetarium.

What kind of changes would you like to see happen at the beginning of your term? Better cooperation between the townships and the district. An increase in alumni-related activities.

In 50 words or less, why should residents vote for you? As someone who has attended school board meetings for many years, I do not know how you can run and not at least attend. I volunteer, participate, coach and I care about the kids and the community. I have a Business Degree from Temple and 30 years of financial experience.
