I am not necessarily going to say what you want to hear. I want to live in a community that respects everyone regardless of income, nationality, gender, religion, sexual orientation and the mistakes we all make in life. I just want to be happy and to have a city that takes care of its own.

I responded to Tony Kuhel: Detroit as a model? Really? Wake up to the nightmare of investment schemes camouflaged by the...
As we look at 'roads' we might also want to look at different ways of creating opportunitiy corridors based on what is happening in other places...including our other rusty areas...thought this was interesting from FastCo.... Continue reading

The councilman is well aware that closure (due to contamination) of WC Reed Field affects our neighborhood and there has been no update on the status of the clean up since 12/2012. We have an afterschool program with time... Continue reading

I responded to Joshua Mole: Skin color has everything to do with this preposterous development pitched for University Circle....
A possible new 28 story residential, office, and retail tower in University Circle. I think the feasability of a project like this has more to do with its location next to growing businesses and world class institutions... Continue reading
