| Most important issue: | Local government must combine fiscal responsibility with creative solutions to meet the growing needs of Minnetonka. I want to keep taxes low so that people can afford to live in Minnetonka. At the same time, maintaining the quality of life, protecting the natural beauty of Minnetonka and supporting a strong, well-functioning infrastructure ? roads, schools, water supply, sewers, parks and open space ? are essential to making Minnetonka the desirable community our residents know and appreciate. My pledge is to walk that line ? keep taxes modest, while providing the services that sustain the outstanding quality of life that Minnetonka residents value. |
