My Priorities:

• Give Taxpayers control over growth and its costs

• Cost- benefit approach to major development issues, including cost of schools, fire, police and other necessary services

• Preservation of downtown core and support of local small businesses

• Protect local, air, water and soil quality including tree and farmland preservation

• Promotion of “village center” style commercial development to help alleviate traffic congestion

• Respect for and support of citizen involvement in municipal decision making.
