The ballots have been mailed and it is time to participate!
Our town continues to grow and we have needs and lack of funds. I am supporting the 1A sales tax increase – yes, there are questions and concerns about this funding, and with all of the potholes around, I feel its time to pass it.
There seems to be a need for a City Council that is more adept at long-range planning. While it is the duty of the city manager to guide the council, council needs to hold itself and the manager accountable.
I attended a Planning Commission meeting this fall and was very impressed with Kim Baxter. Kim asks smart questions and has the ability to see the big picture, and she will assist in that long-range planning.
Marcos Wisner brings the perspective of a native Durangatan and a fresh look at our economy. Marcos saw first-hand while creating 11th Street Station that we need to smooth the way for new and expanding business. He is smart and will listen to other viewpoints while expressing his own. These are complex times and I feel we need to bring in the younger generation to really understand how we move forward.
