Both former Teamster and employer, neither partisan or ideologue, my diverse background will bring balance and pragmatism to the Council.  Tax revenues are up 43% since 2009, and our Council is raising taxes, binge spending and obligating uncertain future revenues.  As in 2010, payments won't stop when revenues fall, and your taxes will be targeted again.  I don't want to break the budget, just tap the brakes.  My opponent voted to scrub the word tax from tax proposals, supported the botched $3000 no-bid skate park mural, $18,000 art tax expenditure, 15% artist kickback, and is endorsed by the Council that taxed your license tabs after voters rejected a sales tax increase for the Transportation Benefit District.  I won't.  I'll propose a smaller 5 seat City Council elected in even years when up to 80% vote, spending caps, larger budget reserves, no RTA, no B&O tax, and I won't seek reelection.
