What I plan to accomplish during my term is...

From day one I have always said that I want to be the best I can be in listening and helping the residents of Ward 4 and the City. My views on this have not changed. I try very hard to help when asked and I am always looking out for the best interest of our City. Over the next year or so as Chairman of the City's Finance Committee, I am looking to help keep our city moving and in the black even during this time of recession. My own personal mandate is to continue to do everything I can to make sure that we can keep the same quality of services that the residents of our city deserve.
