Looking at issues holistically, attempting to be more transparent, implementing more stringent development and engineering guidelines to force better development patterns for the future. Focusing on infrastructure, long neglected.
What is one thing you think the current board is doing wrong?
Tend to "rubberstamp" the initiatives and agenda of the current mayor without debate or question, such as working against the Mooresville Public Schools (MGSD) and advocating for certain developments as Langtree & MagLand and MI-Connection. Ignoring processes for citizen input such as the advice of appointed citizen boards. Ignoring the concerns of the individual in as much as the concerns are out of line with the agenda of the few ... oligarchy.
What specifically would you do if elected in response to the area's growth?
Seek opportunities to improve and lay groundwork for stronger infrastructure, as well as engaging the concerns and input of individual citizens for the betterment of Municipal processes.
