"It's time we move away from this user pay mentality at City Hall, as tax payers we already pay! We need to put back value and accountability into City Hall for YOU the rate payer. If you elect me as your City Councilor on November 9th, I will have a dedicated phone line and email address that I can be reached at any time of day. I will answer or return calls immediately and will be happy to talk directly to the people I work for in Ward 1. I'm looking to earn your support on Nov. 9, 2020 in Ward 1."
