Questions & Answers

1. In your opinion, what are the three most important things the City Council has achieved in the last two years?

1.Having events in downtown like Friday Nite Live and the car show.
2.The resolution in opposition to the proposed Indian casino.
3.Pushing to ensure that the SMART Train comes all the way to Cloverdale as it was presented on the ballot by Measure Q.

3. What is the city doing or should the city do to develop measures to amicably co-exist with the proposed casino-resort?

Currently the Council has not developed a plan and shouldn't.The accompanying problems created by the casino will not exceed any benefit that it might, and I stress might, bring to Cloverdale. The Council has passed a resolution in oppostion to the casino and I would hope they will work from that point to develope a plan to mount some opposition unless their vote on the resolution was token vote.

I would be committed to taking whatever action necessary to prevent it being built on its current plan of any sort.
