What issues in Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy, Manayunk and Roxborough if elected?

In campaigning for a council person at-large position, I have focused my platform on financial and public safety issues that affect residents living in all areas of the City.  I have not focused on issues facing specific neighborhoods.  Once elected my office will be open to community leaders and constituents living in all areas of the City and I will do my best to address matters pertaining to individual neighborhoods.
