I walk all over Stamford every day and I see the beauty of Stamford and the issues. Traffic and increased frustration seem to be everywhere in Stamford. Horn honking and ignoring traffic laws is epidemic. I will work to bring civility and common sense to Connecticut

The State and local Government must be run more efficiently. The Stamford Citizens are paying very high property taxes that go up every year. We are looking at big increases in property taxes due to the School Building that will be happening in the next few years. We must look at all aspects of government and find more efficient ways for the government to work.

We all talk about affordable housing. I feel we should be looking at affordable living instead. This year my house and car insurance went up drastically. We need to look at ways to stabilize these insurance costs. I would also look at the regulations and see whether they can be changed to make the cost of building less expensive.

It is time to be realistic about energy costs. We have to accept that sustainability is going to cost money. Can we afford that? I would ask that we have a honest look at the cost of electricity in Connecticut and how to improve it.
