Your Mayor Should Work Full-Time
The City requires the Mayor and City Council Members to “devote their entire time to duties related to their offices.”  If elected, that’s exactly what I will do. 

Your Mayor Should Make Every Neighborhood A Safe Neighborhood
A top priority must be to hire additional police immediately --  We must take back control of ours streets, so every neighborhood is a safe place to live, work, walk, play, shop and raise a family.  That is non-negotiable

Your Mayor Should Strive To Lower, Not Raise, Your Tax Burden

In his historic acceptance speech on August 28, 2008, Senator -- and now President elect -- Barack Obama explained why he wants to cut taxes for 95% of America’s households:  “Because in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle-class.”  Obama’s observation is especially apt here, because the City of Tampa has increasing taxes.  This has driven away, and continues to drive away, good jobs.  I will fight to reduce your tax burden.  I will never ask you to pay more than you do already.  On the contrary, I intend to reduce your burden through tax cuts and rebates.  We need affordable taxes.
