I'm excited to begin my first term as your Metro Councilor and look forward to working with the people in my district. I believe effective government should listen to every voice. I encourage you to stop by or call me to talk about the issues in the region that concern you.
Government is good when good people are willing to get involved.
I ask you to join me in our work to create a world that is both beautiful and just. This year I chair the Regional Facilities and Operations Committee, which sets policy for Metro facilities, including the Oregon Zoo, the Oregon Convention Center and the Expo Center. In 2001, Metro will complete the new Hall D at the Expo Center and consider replacing aging Expo buildings. We also will oversee expansion of the convention center, with groundbreaking scheduled this month. I also serve on the Budget and Finance Committee, the Community Planning Committee, and the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation.
