I believe that, as a member of both the comprehensive. plan committee and zoning update committee, I can provide some background and insight to the town council when making decisions for the future of the town of Hamilton.
As chair of the planning board I have been able to work with several members of our community on land use issues. Some of these issues were frustrating for all involved, but, I believe we were able to apply the zoning laws fairly to all community members and when all was said and done we were still friends and neighbors. I think my experience working with the public on these issues would be of some value on the town council. I have many years of experience working with local, county, state and national leaders and hope to put some of what little I have been able to learn to use for my town.
