Robert Nichols' Candidate Statement

By Robert F. Nichols

My 6-year Planning Commission record is self-evident. I voted against the original Headlands Specific Plan projects that exacted harsh penalties against citizens; public events without adequate neighborhood protection. I voted for projects that benefited our community's businesses and people.

As an attorney, I understand legal processes affecting City government; As a former Bank Director, the economic realities of life; as a Planning Commissioner, the need to stand up for people above overburdening government and development; and as a person, the dignity of every human being.

I was involved in the General Plan, Zoning Code and both Headlands Planning processes. The Headlands is not only complex issue we face. I am against oppressive regulation. I am for economic stability. Preserving our small town environment is really important to me.

I am not a politician. I attack ISSUES - not people. My goal, if elected, is to listen carefully and make decisions fairly but always for the benefit of our citizens.

" In Nichols we trust" is not just words.
