Answer from David Paul: Please see my web page at http://www.davidpaulformayor.com Answer from Gene Gaynor: Development needs planning that has been designed with direction as to where the city's priorities are. Currently there has been no direction, and development happens where and whenever the owner (or owner's) for a specific property decides to sell it. The City's environment has been controlled by greedy individuals who are after profit. When the city returns to it's priorities, we will have balance.
Answer from David Paul: Please see my web page at http://www.davidpaulformayor.com Answer from Gene Gaynor: By enforcing a zero tolerance for crime and traffic violations. By getting our citizens involved enough to care about their neighborhoods and voting to insure that the elected officials are supported with their concern. Only when everyone is involved and willing to stand up to those that would criminally pollute our city can we truly have an acceptable standard of public safety.
Answer from Gene Gaynor: Let's put the election where it belongs. April elections cost additional money, favor encumbents because of low voter interest. Answer from David Paul: Two years ago, I scarcely realized there was an election. It should be done in November with the rest of them to save money and confusion.
The order of the candidates is random and changes daily. |
