1. Please list your accomplishments while serving in office, or what you wish to accomplish were you elected. "My greatest hope is to bring financial stability, reduce our debt. Improvement to our waterfront benefits our watermen as well as visitors. Our taxpayers deserve the best, and I will work to no end to see that they receive exactly that." 2. What do you believe are issues facing Cedar Key today and in the next term? "Budget stability, pay down our debt. We must be more solvent and make best use practices for our community. Continued improvement to our waterfront facilities is a must. Our watermen need better access, and this project is underway." 3. What long range issues do you foresee? What are you prepared to do about them? "We are a living, working waterfront community. This must be protected and enhanced. While tourism is vital, our people come first. Our inner marina needs attention, again. Solutions are out there. We need to seek out and explain all options. I promise to work diligently to ensure things are done right and correctly the first time." 4. What about the budget? What can you do to save the taxpayers money? "I will look at every item. While there may be no waste, there are ways to rein in some areas. New ideas or other models are always available. I will not endorse or vote for the raising of taxes. I just paid mine and that was enough." |
