Brookfield Happening Now

That is what I hope for on this blog - comments. Further, my hope is that they will all be positive in nature. Let assure you that I will listen to and respond to every comment regarding what is happening in Brookfield. We may not agree on an issue or two, but I really want to know how everyone feels.

As to a comprehensive platform, I am for encouraging business in Brookfield. Businesses help keep the tax burden on the residents lower.

Brookfield is suffering from a lack of land to be newly developed and as a result I favor of redevelopment as long as it fits within the parameters set by the community in the 2020 Master Plan. That is not to say that plan can not be altered to better reflect necessary change.

I feel it is an Alderman's first duty is to represent the district that elected that Alderman. But the ultimate responsibility is to envision what is good for the entire community.

Again, your comments are vitally important to the forming or reformation of any platform.

Well, I finally bit the bullet and started a blog. I hope to become more informed about City of Brookfield government and pass that knowledge on to the readers here. As a candidate for Alderman in the 3rd District, I hope to hear what you think needs attention in Brookfield. My goal is to start attending Council meetings as of February 5, 2008.

The next blog will be a bit longer and have more information about my background.
