Well a lot of individuals, I won’t list them all.

What do you believe is the role of a Decatur City Council member?:

To represent all the people of the city, not just a select few. To protect citizens without impeding their rights or ability to pursue life as they see fit as long as they do not harm others. To be a fair steward of the city budget, ensuring best return on investment of citizens tax dollars.

Please tell us your platform and key areas of focus for the Decatur City Council:

Reduce government restrictions on individuals and businesses that are hampering growth. End or reform city policies that disproportionately impact citizens, particularly the less fortunate. Open up lines of communication between citizens and council, not reduce them, reform city council policies that impede items being placed on the agenda to allow for more open and honest discourse.
