kids have the educational,

need. If we do not provide
these services, we as a
community will suffer over
the long term.
2. Jobs. Recruiting new
businesses and strengthening
small local businesses have
been a priority as city
councilor. I will initiate a
program for in-plant
training. Replicating what
has been done at the state
level would help our local
businesses to expand and

3. Planning for the future.
The issue of water and
planned growth is very
important. As mayor, I
would continue the
leadership, which I have
displayed as councilor,
on water planning and
water rights preservation
and establishing a
framework for orderly
growth, which is predictable
and sustainable.
In recent years, the city has
experienced shortfalls in
gross receipts taxes and
has cut operating budgets.
