Candidates for the City Commission were asked, in 150 words or less, to state the top three items they would wish to accomplish if elected and how they hope to accomplish them. The answers are printed verbatim.

Top three goals if elected: 

Three things I plan on accomplishing are

1.  Establishment of two way communications between the City Commission and city residents.
2.  Establishment of a partnership of City’s residents with the City’s Government in determining the workings, governing, and future of the City. 
3.  Maintain the City’s, financial well-being, and the services residents want.

A working model of the first two goals is already in place for voters to consider.


.Ongoing two way communications between Candidates and the voters  is part of the cityofbloomfieldhills.blogspot.com which I publish..


The Bloomfield Hills School Board uses Community Partnership programs allowing all residents to participate in the planning and decision makes process.

The accomplishment of the third goal is beyond the capabilities of individuals . To achieve it City Commission must utilize all of its assets and that is the collective wisdom its 3800 residents.
