Here is his introductory statement:

Four years ago you honored me with election to the City Council, when the premier issue was how the city would continue to provide quality services without raising taxes in a recession. Today I’m pleased to report that those services have been maintained and City Government is leaner and more efficient, more transparent more accountable and more responsive to the needs of citizens than before.

The key difference from four years ago is a cultural shift away from “City Hall knows best” and toward a more open, collaborative attitude that values and respects the needs and desires of citizens, and one of continuous improvement in the operation of City government.

We are headed in a positive direction, but there is more to be done. My values of balanced and responsive government, public safety, environmental stewardship and concern for the needs of ALL our citizens remain strong, and will continue to guide my choices.

Going forward, we need to encourage investment in major roads through the city, do a better job bringing in and using grant revenue, make doing business with the City more user-friendly, contain floodwaters and protect our fragile environment. Working together, we can and will do great things.
