I firmly believe that the government works FOR the people, that government should be limited and unobtrusive, that government should ask permission before it raises taxes and elected officials should be held accountable to the people who elected them.
As Mayor, I will promote open communication to residents, encourage business and residential development, and ensure adequate water supplies for our growing community.

*Government Transparency: When asked by the Castle Pines Connection today why the 2008 financial audit has not been filed, the mayor responded, "I regret that there has been misinformation and more confusing information on this matter disseminated, and hope we can answer all your questions in the article we are in the midst of preparing."
There is no misinformation nor confusing information being disseminated. There is only the fact that the 2008 audit is 3 months overdue and city officials continue to stonewall citizens who seek important financial information about the state of our city.
*Fiscal Responsibility: The city is in default on its 2008 audit with the state auditor. The city missed the deadline for filing on July 31. The city missed the extended deadline on September 30th. The state auditor has ordered the Douglas County treasurer to withhold tax revenues to the city. A question concerning the status of the audit was brought up by a resident at the October 8th city council meeting. The resident received no reply from anyone on council or the mayor.
*Annexations: Growth should be measured and controlled. We should seek to preserve the nature and character of our Colorado lifestyle. City council approved the annexation of The Canyons development at a public hearing on October 22.
*Schools: I support school choice because parents are uniquely qualified to determine the best educational alternative for their children.
*Limited Government: City council has enacted 12 ordinances requiring the payment of a tax or fee by city residents, including additional permit fees, additional sales taxes, additional licensing fees, and additional franchise fees on your utility bills.
