If elected, how do you plan on making your mark as the newest member of the Clifton City Council?

I am not out to make a mark as the newest member, I am looking forward to working with Council members as a team for progress and results. By listening more and talking less, I hope you will see and feel a difference within the first two meetings. I will work hard to complete policy writing in two years. I will continue walking, listening, and learning issues from residents door-to-door. My focus will always be on ACTION and RESULTS.

Besides Board of Education issues, what do you see as the most pressing issue facing the City of Clifton and what solution do you propose?

Our priority must be the safety and security of all our residents. From our children to our seniors, we must plan, review, and coordinate all emergency and response procedures. This would include our homes, schools, senior housing areas, parks, gas stations and other industrial locations. A combination of routine inspections, practice drills and studies of traffic congestion, alternate routes and other Fire-Police studies.

What is your opinion on resident's right to speak at public portions of council meetings? Should there be restrictions or limitations on their comments?

At council meetings, the public portion is for the residents...they have the floor and the mike...they paid for both of them! No restrictions or limitations on comments.

What is your opinion on Clifton's current form of government and how do you feel about recent moves by an outside interest to finance a campaign to change Clifton's form of government?

Clifton's current form of government is the best! Everyone puts party aside and keeps CLIFTON FIRST. It is disgraceful that outsiders even attempt to take over and dictate over our free will and independence. We must be alert and stand unified against any such action or group.
