Involvment

All citizens should be involved in local government and know their involvment makes a difference.

Transparency

Governments must operate transparently and all citizens must make the effort to be informed.

Accountability

We are all accountable to one another as neighbors to make optimal choices for our defined goals..

Three years ago, my brother and I were respectfully discussing politics. It cumulated with him asking me what the name of my mayor was. I did not know, sorry, John. After my brother asked me that question, I committed to being more involved in my local government. During the last caucus meeting, Dave Roberts asked if I would take the time to be a leader in our community. I was flattered that Dave thinks enough of me to represent him as a city council member. I believe we have outstanding leaders among us. I believe that we, as neighbors and friends, should ask one another to lead as the need arises. I believe that each of us will rise to the need. I commit to Dave and the rest of my neighbors to study each issue and make the best decision I can that will meet the needs of Fruit Heights’ current and future residences.
