Philosophy of local government:
I believe our local government is for and by the people. That's why I
encourage involvement. When you dial 911, it isn't the Secret Service
or the FBI that responds. It's your local police, fire or paramedics.
Local government affects us all at our front door. I don't believe
government should become any more involved in our personal lives than
is absolutely necessary; however, it can be very helpful when disputes
within a community or neighborhood arise to insure everyone their
personal and property rights. Codes and enforcement are positive and
beneficial to all concerned. Becoming involved allows you to voice
what those should be and how they should be acted upon.
It's important to elect those who can represent us in
intergovernmental affairs with our neighboring cities, as well as at
the State and Federal levels. While these matters may not affect our
daily lives, the do affect us to a degree that is not so apparent in
matters of transportation, safety and health.
I encourage involvement in schools, sports, charity
and, most of all, government. Let your voice be heard. We can't
represent our constituents unless we know what they want.
