I'm one who demands a lot from people. I'm not afraid to look at alternative ways in city government. That's what I've done in my two years and will continue to do in the next four.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have to admit I didn't do as much as I should have back when I was mayor, but now we're getting it done. It's not where you've been but where you're going.
I'm fed up with democracy. In a democracy, people vote for the mayors. I wanted to build a city where I will choose the citizens.
I've tried to lead a progressive, activist government.
I want to hold government accountable and help create a more efficient and effective government.
My task as a citizen is to get the government to do more good and less inefficient and wasteful work.
For my part, I plan to work out a fair and adequate redistribution of city services to all city neighborhoods.
I want to be a mayor who helped, really helped.
I happen to be one who believes very strongly that state and local governments have their proper roles.
My work in government has flowed from the fundamental idea of personal empowerment. It's about giving people the tools they need to pave their own way.
I've been mayor for five years. I've led a city. And directed a police department. I know how to use resources.
