THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO TRUSTED ME WITH THEIR VOTE DURING THE LAST 6 ELECTIONS.
I have always worked toward an affordable City Government and a government for and by the citizens of this
City.I care about the people of this City and the City itself.I have lived in this City since 1931 and I have raised my
family here.My wife and I are fortunate enough to have all of our family still together in the area yet today.
We need to find a way to keep our young people here in our City.We need to improve our housing stock and
our neighborhoods. We need to provide incentives to bring jobs here. We have to improve and maintain
our infrastructure.We have to clear up the traffic jams in our Tri State Corridor.We need to keep our residential
neighborhoods as residential and reduce the amount of thru traffic in these neighborhoods. We have to control our
tree stock and replace dangerous trees with more desireable trees.We have to keep trying to provide some kind of
flood control for the first and third wards of our city.
When making hard decisions I try to decide in a way that will hurt the fewest number of people in the City.
