Now or never

It's time to vote for your choices for Raleigh City Council.

I hope you'll choose me as your 2nd choice for the At-Large opening based my positions on the issues:
Impact fees: Increase them
North Hills TIF: No
Dix Park: Yes
Teardowns: Stop them unless the neighborhood has a Neighborhood Plan that protects its character.
Growth: Manage it, with the help of the updated Comprehensive Plan.
Parks bond: Pass it
Transit: Make the CAT system more reliable and support TTA rail.
CACs: Market them and revise the boundaries to better reflect population.
Environment: Protect water and air quality by reducing miles traveled in personal cars and increasing forested open space.
Drought: If it doesn’t rain, go to Stage 2 water restrictions. And from now on, start going to water restrictions earlier.
Comprehensive plan: Make sure it protects our natural systems and encourages transit-oriented land use, and includes wide public participation.

And on my pledge to increase citizen involvement, neighborhood preservation, and environmental stewardship in the city of Raleigh.

You have from 6:30am until 7:30pm Tuesday to vote. Go to: http://msweb03.co.wake.nc.us/bordelec/Waves/WavesSearch.asp
