Differences between Candidates

Today, I thought I'd take a few minutes and post some of the differences between myself and the other candidates.  Each of these is based on either City Council or Planning Commission minutes.

1. Supported elimination of health benefits for City Council Members (part-time). (5/24/2010)
• George Hontos - No
• Sonja Berg - No
• Jeff Goerger - N/A
• Jake Anderson - Yes
• Carol Lewis - N/A
2. Supported building the Skate Park in Heritage Park
• George Hontos - Yes
• Sonja Berg - No
• Jeff Goerger - No (Planning Commission vote)
• Jake Anderson - Yes
• Carol Lewis - N/A
3. Supported Complete Streets Policy adoption
• George Hontos - No
• Sonja Berg - Yes
• Jeff Goerger - No
• Jake Anderson - Yes
• Carol Lewis - N/A

I will be posting more differences between the candidates on issues I believe are important as a way to educate the public.  The votes also illustrate that I don't necessarily align with anyone in particular that is currently on the council; my vote is my vote.  I try to listen to the information presented, form my own opinion, and vote the way I feel is right to improve our community.
