Answer each of the following questions in 100 words or less. Longer answers will be cut off at the word limit, regardless of whether it is complete.

Question 1: What is the biggest issue currently facing the city? Why is that the biggest issue?

I haven't really given that a whole lot of thought. I would say the idea of being a small town, the life here is a whole lot different in the bigger cities. But I don't really have any way of responding to that right now.

Question 2: Is the current city council effectively leading the city in a positive direction? How would you enhance that perceived positive direction or correct a perceived negative direction?

As far as I know. The current mayor, I think he's doing a good job. He worked up on the golf course for a while and I have a little duty where I pick up the garbage, so we got to know each other pretty well. I think the city is moving in the the right direction.

Question 3: Do you support or oppose growth and future builds in the city? Why do you hold this position? What restrictions should future builds have, if any?

Depending on the circumstances I would probably support it. There's only two ways to go You either grow or you die. A business of some kind here, the right one would be fine. I've got nothing against housing.
