Drive-Thru Supporter :-)

This morning while getting my breakfast at the drive-thru of a local restaurant, the lady at the window said "I saw you in the paper". My political mind jumped into gear....she said "you know, I saw you were against the red light camera's in Arnold and stand against them"? I said "Yes, I do stand against red light camera's"! She responded "Well, then you have five votes from my household"!!!!  I'm Mike Evans and I vow to end the use of red light camera's in Arnold when I am elected!

What are the biggest problems facing the city and how would I address them:

The biggest issues facing Arnold right now are outdated sanitary sewers, inadequate storm water management, streets in need of repair and a lack of sidewalks. I would work
with the rest of the council and staff to address the oldest problems first. The sewer lines needing repair that are located under the streets currently needing repair would be first on the list. Adequate sidewalks would contribute to the safety of both children and adults with walking being encourages these days. We must get our infrastructure into good repair now, to avoid the need for more costly projects in the future. Finally, I will be accessible to the people to listen to their questions and concerns and make sure they get proper and timely answers.

What is your position on Arnold’s red-light cameras?

I am strongly opposed to red light cameras and will make removing them from the City of Arnold streets a top priority.

Why should voters elect you to this position?

Through my service in the U.S. Army and as a public school teacher, I have always embodied three qualities: dedication, respect and service. I am ready to take a stand against wasteful spending to fight for a sensible budget and to work to improve services to our city. I have served successfully as an advocate for Veterans, teachers and students and will deliver for the people in Ward 3. If elected, my goals would be:

-Attend to the needs of the people I represent

-Fix our sewer system and storm water runoff problems

-End the use of red light cameras in the City of Arnold

-Stand for responsible fiscal spending and balance budgets based on the wishes and needs of the citizens of Arnold

I am not related to any in the government which I am seeking election, nor have I been employed by the City of Arnold.
