1. Do you support development in Newark Area 4? Why or why not?
First I would like to explain my values in assessing a development proposal. I believe that it is imperative to protect our wetlands and natural resources. Newark is in a unique position to take a proactive role in protecting our environment. I also believe that in order for Newark to thrive economically, it must continually search for ways to create economic development. Currently, there are plenty of opportunities throughout the city to promote economic development projects. My priority is to focus on revitalizing those areas before even thinking about development close to our wetlands. I do not support development in the Area 4 land that is directly adjacent to the wetlands. However, I do support development in Area 4 that is adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad.2. Should the City of Newark ban the sale of "safe and sane" fireworks?
The sale of fireworks in Newark are instrumental in sustaining community organizations, schools, and sports programs. I think it is important to continue supporting these essential community programs.
