| Most important issue: |
Elected officials cannot formulate a vision in a vacuum or make it a reality alone. Public participation is vital as a community grows to meet the changing needs of its citizens. In Golden Valley this participation has grown under my leadership. I spearheaded Envision Golden Valley, which generated tremendous citizen input and continues with the Envision Connection Project. Openness, trust and fairness are the hallmarks of effective city government; I am committed to making sure that all citizens are free to express their points of view, and that there are many opportunities for public participation in all government deliberations and decisions. |
