I
have been increasingly dissatisfied with the current mayor’s
approach in resolving issues that affect the city of Lincoln and the
city council. Too many times the city council has had to make quick
decisions on important issues because information was kept secret for
too long. Because I have been an alderman for more than seven years,
serving on every committee and holding the positions of chairman of
ordinance and zoning, insurance, and finance, I feel that it is
important that the mayor be in the position to facilitate the
activities of the council instead of ruling it
.

After
constant urging from my friends and constituents, I have decided to
make an early announcement of my candidacy for mayor in the city of
Lincoln. By doing this I hope that the citizens of Lincoln will be
relieved to know that they will have a choice in the next election . |
