Thank you, Fountain Hills! There is nothing better than getting a clear and concise answer to a question. Your vote on the property tax issue couldn’t be clearer. I hear you, no property tax wanted!

It’s also great to see democracy at work; open dialogue, the expressing of ideas, facts and opinions which result in a decision. A huge thanks to both organized sides of the issue for their hard work and passion for the town’s success. Now it’s time to move forward as a unified community to solve the issues we will be facing in the future.

As a candidate for mayor, I will share and quantify how smart growth meets the economic development, vision and strategic plans to help balance the town’s financial needs. More importantly, together we will enhance and protect everyone’s quality of life that we all enjoy in Fountain Hills. I will not try, nor be part of any idea that circumvents the residents’ will by creatively taxing or charging fees to the people of Fountain Hills.

We have tremendous resources and an incredible community. With your support, as mayor, we will partner to solve our financial needs and achieve the town’s goals. We’re in this together.
