It's hard for a new candidate to break through when the incumbent is seeking re-election. With the incumbent not running, the field is open in Northwood! I like that this candidate has come forward with some positive ideas and has obviously been following and analizing city issues. He is quite right that we need to distinguish between what is needed and what can wait. For too long, our City has been spending on "nice to have" while essential infrastructure has been neglected. We now have an infrastructure deficit of over $30 Million, meaning we're spending $30 M less annually than what is needed just to maintain existing infrastructure. That is foolhardy, as infrastructure neglected costs more to fix in the long run. This candidate brings education, experience and common sense; I look forward to hearing more from him! His focus on smart spending and better value for taxpayers hit the mark!
Once again thanks to Leith Dunik for the excellent coverage an write up as it has been all year and nice to see a sold out crowd for the final game. I hope they will be back next year.
