Question | Is the city doing a good job of balancing the needs of residents with those of tourists?
Answer | This is the basis of my campaign. Residential quality of life is not balanced with either businesses
or tourists. Local ordinances do not appear to be as stringently enforced during prime tourist season as
during the shoulder seasons. Business and revenue income seem to be the driving force of the current
administration. Retired income is fixed, and entry-level jobs provide limited incomes. Neither provide for
much discretionary spending. Before the city commits to spending residential income, communication with
the residents is a must to ensure the costs benefit the year-round resident. City facilities and activities
cannot continue to be funded by the accommodations tax. As the recession proved, a successful tourist
season is not always assured. Each action taken by the city council must answer the question, “How will this
affect and benefit the residents of our city?”
