My Vision

Serious Solutions for Serious Problems

Imagine neighborhood schools where every parent knows every teacher, and every teacher knows every child by name. Imagine police officers from the neighborhood walking the streets and knowing every person they meet.  Imagine parks in every neighborhood that are safe for our children.  Imagine neighborhoods that attract all types of new businesses.  Imagine the value of our homes increasing. Imagine living in a community of which you are proud to be a part. 

Imagine this is Syracuse in four years...

This vision can become a reality, but we need to take immediate action. Our City has Serious Problems that require Serious Solutions - the time for sound-bytes solutions and easy answers is over. Below you will find Serious Solutions for many of the Serious Problems facing our community. However, good intentions and progressive ideas alone will not revitalize Syracuse - We also need a comprehensive, strategic multi-year budget that tackles the problems facing our community while balancing the budget and putting our City's finances back in order. 
 

While other candidates just talk about problems, I have a plan to solve them.
