Better information makes for better decisions

Some of the decisions this board makes have tremendous impact on members of the community. That is why I place such a high value on gathering as much information as possible, and why thorough discussion at board meetings is so vital to the decision making process.

I agree wholeheartedly with the Special District Institute's view of the responsibilities of a board member
