Enlightened leadership articulates a vision, defines expectations, measures performance and rewards achievements.
A focus on innovation and creativity of thought, not just maintenance of how we were before June 2008, is vital.
In business and sports, teams win when they have the best players on the field, and now is that time for our town. We must look to experienced leadership, someone with proven talents of bringing people of diverse views and interests together, with demonstrated abilities in finding creative solutions to incredible challenges. I strongly urge our residents to carefully review what our candidates offer from their record and their vision.
I firmly believe true leaders lead, and I am supporting Ron Corbett as our next mayor.
