My goal is for you to understand how our local government works. Learn how to find information YOU are curious about and what is of important to all of us - Water, Sewers, Roads and Public Safety.

We are coming up on the Circuit Breaker and I'm concerned about the Debt Levels, TIF and Abatements. I want YOU the voter to be informed. 

I've been attending the Council meetings for over three years now, as well as the Budget Hearings, and I've learned how to find information you, the citizen, needs to know.
