You don't need a city charter to know that education is the foundation of any community.

There has been much talk referencing what I consider conceptual reports like the Landscape of Choice and documents created as a result of the Great Valley Center.

We must do more to protect our neighborhoods and give integrity to our community plans.

Nothing is more devastating to a community than out-of-control crime.

While it is true that we must seek value added industries like food processing plants and call center operations, we must do what is necessary to expand and develop our economic profile.

It cannot take decades to resurrect, we must act immediately with purpose and enthusiasm to rebuild.

I am convinced that your Mayor must take the leadership role in education too.
