This issue must be handled in an open door fashion, including all citizens in the decision making process, , Local government must lead by example with a “buy focal policy”. All goods and services purchased with City tax dollars must be from local businesses and workers when possible, Money taken from the community must be put back in the community, helping create economic growth. : I will not support any new tax incrcases unless citizens support an increase in a referendum, When people have more money in their pockets, they are able to spend more, which creates economic growth, nO NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITY ISSUES Farmers Market- As a City Councilor, 1 will pive (he Farmers Market the representation it deserves, The Farmers Market makes a substantial contribution to our community. | believe the market gives our citizens a place to showcase local products, provides a place for people to meet, advocates good community spirit, and has a positive impact on our community. I will ensure the Farniers Markel’s needs are heard and fought for at City Hall oe Mutiplex - I think everyone can agree we need the multiplex, the prablem is the timing, I can not support this proposal for two reasons; 1) The people in this community have faced difficult economic times, and we already are paying high taxes. 2) We must pay down the long-term debt the city has incurred before borrowing more money. I urge people to cast their vote on this important issue, ] will respect and support whatever decision the people decide, © Community Plan- We need a clear community plan that guards the sanctity of our residential tand, rezoning only. when it has the support of the residents that live in the neighborhoods of the community. cs Health Care- | believe citizens have many concerns about our local healthcare system, Asa City Councilor | wilt fight and lobby to get the funding and tools required to provide our citizens with the healthcare they deserve. BEF ORE YOU CAST YOUR BALLOT NOVEMBER 20, look into who stood where on important issues such as the multiplex going (o referendum in November, and the Farmers Market. You may be surprised. Vote for candidates that represent your wishes, not the wishes of a handful of people at city hall. Thankyou to the almost 1200 people who supported and voted for me in the 1996 municipal election
