Growth! I would help the city bring depth and detail to the master and vision plan. Design clear development goals that create intentional zoning not reactive. Encourage the city and the utilities to install infrastructure where they want growth. Direct growth where we want it and restrict where it’s inappropriate.
The most important issue is the impact of uncontrolled growth. Rapid growth has strained our roads, police, and emergency services. I will pay special attention to maintaining, expanding, and improving roads. I will also champion keeping the police and emergency services in balance with our growth and current threats.
Artificially stimulated growth at the expense of present taxpayers. Show me a larger city that is safer, less traffic, better schools, or lower taxes—they don’t exist.
