  1. I would not include street improvements in your accolades. The city planner has failed again to provide sufficient street improvements. There was an opportunity for city council to widen and improve the safety on Old Mill Creek Road. Even if you can’t rely on the planner, the tax payers should be able to rely on you. You and your elected officials approved this misuse of tax dollars that has created a road that is more dangerous with the continued development and traffic on this road. The tax payers deserve cost effective government and safety not mistakes.

    1. I agree that street improvements should not be included. I am amazed each day when dropping off/picking up my child from the high school when I observe the new restaurant being built at the corner of N. Park St. and Blue Bell Rd. The fact that no right hand turn lane was planned at this location is very dangerous!! I’m fearful for my child once she starts driving to and from school. Just another example of poor planning! Does the city currently have a planner? It sure doesn’t seem like it.

      1. Yessss! I totally agree. So much of what goes on around here is a fix for an immediate problem. No fore thought on the future problems. It’s completely wasteful! Fix it once, the right way, with room for growth!

  2. Seems to me most all of his “touts” he brags about is just a prime example of the wasteful spending the council does. Hopefully voters will open their eyes and notice it is time for a change!!!

      1. The city administrators need to give the taxpayers an update on applicants received for this election. The taxpayers need to know if there is any hope with new council members who can fix and prevent future planner mistakes. Please give us an update !!!!!
