I believe the City Strategic Plan could benefit of an increased focus on financial accountability, safety, and modernization, without losing track in its strategy of what makes the city attractive to a significant part of its residents – the schools and education system. When developing and implementing the strategic plan, long term consequences should be carefully considered as what may seem a positive change now, could have a significant negative impact in the future.
I believe the current City Council composition is lacking a true non-partisan, independent, unbiased perspective, which has at heart and is acting solely for the good of the city and its residents, rather than acting in line with a certain political agenda or approach. I believe, true diversity starts with embracing and keeping an open mind to all ideas, of all people rather than following a specific agenda and ideology. This is why I am running as an independent with a sole focus on our city, for the good of the citizens, for the benefit of my neighbors.

I am far too familiar with the fact that even annual budgets are continually met with challenges not yet considered, so course correction is always required. I suspect this is also true with the 10 year plan; however, it appears that the city and the council are endeavoring and successful in meeting its vision
