During the month of March, we will periodically be sending updates from our campaign journal - a quick and easy way for us to stay connected in the month prior to our Consolidated Election on April 7^th. 

On this past Tuesday night, Feb. 24, attendees of the Central Street Neighbors Association aldermanic forum were treated to a demonstration of the better side of politics. In one hour and 45 minutes, six candidates for the two open  positions in the 6th and 7th wards fielded approximately 18 questions each, after first answering another 18 questions on a CSNA questionnaire.

I wanted to extend a personal thank you to the Central Street Neighbors Association and its leadership for last night's Aldermanic Forum.

My decision to become a candidate for Alderman in the 6th Ward was largely based on a desire to strengthen and deepen involvement on a community level.  It was a hope to bring fresh perspectives into our conversations...and bring a new attitude to encourage productive exchanges. As with all conversations, the requirement is respectful engagement from all parties so that they can be useful and productive. 

I think the public needs some answers out our staff and the city council members.
The water department wants millions to replace the aging water piple, claiming we may  not have adeqate fire water supply in the system. They want to increase water bills over 40% over the next few years.
So what will be the situation when the 708 Church project is built? I am not talking about fire fighters but if a fire occurs will the supply of water be adequate to fight the fire?

We would like to invite you and your family to come by and meet Chris, a candidate for Alderman in our 6th Ward, on Thursday, March 5 or March 12, 6:30 - 8:00 pm.
