Primary Issues

In the words of Robert F. Kennedy:

“Some men see things as they are and say why.

 I Dream things that never were and say why not.”

JOBS, JOBS, JOBS

We are on the right track opening up a full time Broward College right in the heart of our beautiful City. This will bring professors and students needing housing, entertainment and retail shopping. As a City, we need to think more globally. Our Commissioners should be directly involved in the quest to obtain targeted industries into our beautiful, centrally located Park of Industry. We want our highly trained students and their burgeoning families to want to live and maintain their careers here. Medical Technology, Green Industry, Internet and Cellular Technology firms have a wonderful City in which their employees can live, work, play, learn and raise a family. City friendly signage and beautification of the City and its medians will help our small businesses and boost our economy in general.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Coral Springs has been consistently rated as the safest city in the State of Florida. Our Police and Fire Department are second to none in protecting our residents. We have a world class training Fire and Emergency Medical training Academy educating Fire and Emergency personnel from all over the world. Public safety in Coral Springs will never be compromised. However, we need to use our current resources and shift job responsibilities to have more Police visibility on our streets. Hiring retirees, using ancillary personnel for accident reporting, and using the best technology are some of the methods we can use. 

PUBLIC HEALTH

I believe that a health oriented, bike safe, pedestrian friendly City is one our young families want to live in. We need to set examples for our youth, and produce City programs that promote fitness and health. I am cyclist, runner, spinner, and yoga enthusiast. Our city needs to be in the forefront of the battle against adult and pediatric obesity. I have introduced a Broward County Bike rack program already in place. There are now beautiful Bike Racks all over our City and more to come.

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

We are fortunate to have the most amazing and talented City Staff in the Country! I am grateful to Mike Levenson, our City Manager for instituting the Sterling Management System that has brought our City the Malcolm Baldridge Award.  Judicious use of our present resources, keeping our tax revenues at 2004 levels, and productivity and excellence through state of the art technology has kept our City in great financial shape. I am so impressed with our Organization that I am proud to lend my reputation as a Doctor, Father of Five, and Chamber Leader to the City Commission of Coral Springs. I look forward to serving our City to continue and further its excellence.

 These are some of the issues I plan to focus on
as your Coral Springs City Commissioner.

 Please reach out to me if you have additions or comments.

 I will make certain that Coral Springs maintains
and exceeds its proven excellence as:

The best place to live, work, play
and raise a family!
