"In 1978, the Detroit Free
Press called Huntington
Woods the 'choicest city' in
which to live. I want to be
part of the team that main-
tains that reputation even
during the challenging 'lean
years' of the 1990s."
"I believe Huntington
Woods has maintained its
reputation as the most
desirable community iri
Oakland County. Our prop-
erty values have remained
high; our educational system
is second to none and the
quality of life and safety in
our community has never
been better."
"This city's residents de-
serve commissioners who act
rather than react. The com-
mission must always re-
member that it does the bid-
ding of its citizens and that
the welfare of its citizens and
the good of the city must over-
ride political benefits and per-
sonal prejudices."

quality services that have

"Our costs exceed our
revenues. We must make
hard decisions regarding
services we maintain, cut, or
add, and fair methods of fi-

ideas, not answers. For
those, I will listen and learn,
and act in what I hope will
be the best interest of all."

Keeping
Huntington
Woods' level of quality ser-
vices intact while holding
down city taxes is my major
goal. We need a commis-
sioner who understands the
financial aspects of running
a business and who is com-
mitted to keeping our city
the unique and delightful
community that it has
become."
