Welcome to My Views

My (Our) Constituents

A Public Representative is an official, elected or appointed, that "represents" the entire community; not just those in my corner. This includes my supporters, my doubters, and those somewhere in between. Those "in-betweeners" sometimes get lost in the shuffle; they may not feel empowered, they may not understand their roles and avenues of communication, they may not feel that their concerns will be heard or gain City Council attention. For whatever the reason, I estimate that these numbers account for ~10%, ~10%, ~80% split; supporters, detractors and the "in-betweeners". Supporting my view are the historically dismal election turnouts, at best around 15% of the registered voters. We, as a Council, must include and focus more on those, seemingly, without a voice.  

My Philosophies

  • Experience does not only teach me what works but more importantly what does not work. Hopefully to learn and not repeat but also to share with others. 


  • Emotion (Passion) sets my Drive but its my Critical Thinking that makes my Decisions. Without the entire picture and alternative perspectives, no Decision will ever be a truly Successful Solution.


  • Never forget the Little, the Least, the Last, and the Lost. 

Citizen's Civic Development (Growth)

The Hutto University is an excellent primer to get Citizens Involved in CoHutto Civic Opportunities. 


  • I Would Like to Expand these Resources with a Class, a Webpage, a Presentation, etc. 


  • I Will Help Address BUDGET Frustrations Spreading Through the CoHutto at this Time of Year. 


  • I Will Establish Training Sessions (Classes) to Help Cultivate Candidates for New Board's and Commission's Appointments


I Will Introduce and Expand on Materials Covering the Topics below: 


  • Budget Process
  • Debt Obligations
  • Taxes/Taxing Entities
  • No New Revenue (NNR)
  • Municipal Bonds - Debt Security
  • Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)
  • Boards and Commissions
  • Land Use and Zoning
  • Master Plans
