The Town Crier will be asking a series of questions until the primary election on August 30th.
This is the first question they asked and published in an Article on July 16th, 2016
“What makes you the most qualified candidate to sit on the Indian Trail Improvement District Board of Supervisors? What changes would you like to see at ITID over the short term and the long term?”
- My answer:
“Seat 4 needs a fresh, creative, open-minded perspective from someone with knowledge of The Acreage and the surrounding communities, ITID’s charter, the county’s comprehensive plan and state statutes. I am that person. I have experience and education in real estate, law and business. I am firmly committed to The Acreage and the surrounding communities through my service as the PTO president of Loxahatchee Groves Elementary School, committee chair of my sons’ cub scout troop, and as a founding member and president of Alerts of PBC.
My unwavering commitment to community has been demonstrated in the various community meetings that I have consistently attended or viewed over the past several years, seeking discussions from residents with varying opinions, continued research and a quest for innovative solutions for issues facing the community. I will represent and respect all residents of The Acreage, even when we may disagree. ITID needs someone who is not firmly entrenched in an agenda to urbanize The Acreage or to jump in bed with the first option presented.
Prioritization of ITID’s responsibilities are crucial to the health and well-being of all residents, with roads and drainage infrastructure clearly the most important priorities, while balancing improvement of parks and development of horse trails bolstering our rural equestrian lifestyles. I think it is important to return to fiscal and contractual responsibility, accountability, oversight and transparency, including the objective involvement of the inspector general. In the capacity of ITID supervisor, I would serve all residents of the district with honesty and integrity.”
