I hope everyone has had a great first half of February. My campaign has been on the low key side in respect for those candidates in Districts 1 & 11 as well as the attention put on the 98th Assembly District for some parts of Waukesha. I look forward to getting into more details of my thoughts on issues facing Waukesha and District 12 in the next six weeks.
Since I posted last, a lot has happened in Waukesha. In my District and neighborhood in particular there was a great example of what a resident can accomplish with their Alderman's help. In River Hills Estates, a resident felt there was a safety issue for the children who live in the area and made the case for stop signs to be installed at a potentially dangerous intersection. Alderman Hastings assisted the resident in the opportunity to present this case and it was approved by the Building & Grounds Committee. For some reason, almost three months later this decision was put in question (not by the committee or Alderman Hastings) by another resident. This case was presented again and approved again keeping the children in our neighborhood safe with my support. Being proactive in safety is a policy we need to follow and one I'll pursue as Alderman.
The BID...I attended the Common Counsel meeting the night the bylaws and budget were approved. A vote came to the Counsel to postpone the vote of the bylaws and budget for sixty days. It was voted down. This was a measure I would have preferred due to the fact that new Alderman would be in place as well as it would have given the BID disbandment process more time to proceed and Counsel more information to go on.
Just a few issues I'll be touching on in the next blogs...
--West Waukesha Bypass
--Waukesha water supply
--Proposed Fire Station off Oakdale Drive
--Park plans for River Hills Estates
--Crime and Safety
To speak with me individually on any issue please call me at 414 795 0990.
Having spent time attending both forums for the candidates for District 11 and had correspondence with four of the five of them I feel it appropriate to voice who I'd prefer to work with if elected myself. All five gentlemen have good intentions and I applaud them for what they are doing and encourage their community involvement even if not in the role of Alderman. If I had a vote in District 11 I would cast it for James Cowee. I believe the mixture of his work experience, community involvement and passion for ensuring the District is properly represented is impressive.
Have a great week everyone! God bless!
