Official Ballot Statement

James Marsh

Education & Qualifications:

The Council has come to a cross road in its development. The Council must step
up to the needs of the Community so it can be a consistent and an effective
voice to our governors. I, for one, believe the Council has but two choices: 1
- Work with Supervisor Gordon, and the Board to improve the implementation of
County policies. 2 - Work for local control - either through negotiation and
Annexation to the City, or Incorporation as our own city.

We, who chose to live on This Side Of The Hill, need to understand that there
is no "Us" and "Them" -only "We". We must develop our community to suit OUR
needs for communication, business, environment, mobility, recreation, for
family and neighbors.

We should characterize ourselves and our neighbors, by our strengths, not by
our limitations. 

The Council has elections every two years and represents us. The Council is our
"Voice" to the Board, to the City, to those Over the Hill.

I want to be clear about my candidacy for the MidCoast Community Council: if
you, the residents of the MidCoast, want the Council, to be more effective,
more "voices heard", more Coastside, then please vote for me.
