| Most important issue: | I have concerns about the frustration and stress many residents have felt when working with City Hall. I believe listening, communication and teamwork are necessary ingredients for a vibrant and healthy community. Respect between City Hall and the community is a must. By working together, practical, common-sense solutions to our city?s problems can be achieved. Golden Valley deserves strong, balanced leadership, where different points of view are encouraged and accepted. I will work for an open and responsive government that values and believes in the citizens it serves. |
