In response to public concern
I have received messages from many of the members of the community concerning my absences from the Planning Commission and Growth Management Commission meetings. Though the reason for my absences was personal, I'd like to reassure everyone that I remain sincerely dedicated to our community and my responsibilities as a Commissioner. I greatly appreciate the outpouring of emails, calls, and messages of concern from the Carson City Community.
I am looking forward to the coming year and the challenges posed by the pandemic and the economy. Our community deserves the best representation possible as we work through this together. As my record of service reflects, I take both my responsibilities and my oath seriously. In every vote I cast, I try to balance the best interests of our community with the desires of the applicants. Sometimes, the Commissioners are in accord. Sometimes, as in the recent slaughterhouse applications, we are not. It is this capacity to give voice to different perspectives and values that makes our community and it's government stronger. I will not "go along to get along" when it comes to respecting the voice of our citizens. I return focused and vigilant on my task of serving the best interests of our community. Of course, I welcome input from our residents and will continue to make my self available whenever possible.
