Editor:
This Board of Supervisors’ campaign is one of the nastiest that I can recall in our town history. I cannot speak enough for supporting the existing board and the hope that they bring to our City for growth and inspiration to improve our economy and make Carson City a destination place.
In the 25 years that I have been involved in the downtown dynamics, this is the only Board of Supervisors that is moving forward with a vision to better our City. Twenty-five years folks, it is time for a change!
Listen to the candidates speak who are running for office. I am appalled by the negativity of this campaign as well as the untruths and negative e-mails. Talk to the businesses, without them we have no Downtown Community.
"Downtown is the Heart that keeps our City Beating"
We need to encourage improvement and work together. Traffic levels taken a few years ago were at 1972 levels, the most recent study taken a few months ago, show that we are currently at the late 1960 levels. The downtown streets are going to be torn up to replace the water and sewer lines and the downtown businesses will need our support during this transition; let's put the core of our City back together by creating an environment that is walkable, people and business friendly. A strong downtown core will improve our economy and raise your property values.
The improvements for this project and other city corridors are being paid for by the 1/8% sales tax that has already been approved; There can only be one “Historic Downtown” and let's develop ours to be a community where all generations gather to support existing businesses as well as welcoming new business. We need to become a destination place.
We need to support the existing Board of Supervisors!
