Mission:

When elected to City Council, I plan on addressing the following issues:

1)Protect your pocketbook. We have managed to hold our operations of utilities at or below CPI and will continue to manage our cost of government to keep fees, rates and taxes low. It is for this reason we took on Hamilton County and MSD to protect your rates into the future.

2) Stay focused on basic City services
- Provide balance in dollars and priorities between basic services (such as roads, public works, police and fire) and other improvement projects.

2) Improve the cost effectiveness of City services
- Participate in more public / private partnerships to continue community improvements and offset the tax burden for the people.
- Investigate Tax Increment Financing opportunities

3) Continue to stress economic development
- Keep taxes down by improving the tax base thereby providing the revenues for the growing service demands this city is faced with.
- Actively pursue businesses to fill vacancies and look for new opportunities to provide growth in jobs. This includes, but is not limited to, Loveland Madeira Road redevelopment, historic downtown focus, and balanced new development.

4) Work with regional agencies for municipal emergency planning "« I was in Houston during the evacuation for Hurricane Rita to witness first hand the positives and negatives of their planning and execution. I will continue to work proactively to bring the lessons learned from the recent natural disasters into our emergency planning

A vote for me brings proactive and experienced leadership with community long-term benefits in mind. I have the ability to make the tough decisions facing our City.
