As a city council member, he wanted to ban bow hunting deer within city limits. He said, "deer, when you shoot it with an arrow, unless you're an awfully good, it's going to run for a while.

City Budget

As a city council member, he supported an apartment development at Windy Hill Road. He said, "this will probably attract the young professional with easy access to the major roads/shopping and entertainment. It will sure have a nice tax benefit for the city. We will continue to try to create a more balanced home ownership ... we would like to see more home ownership rather than apartments but land has become so expensive making it hard for a developer to build affordable single-family houses."

Housing & Urban Development

As a city council member, he said, "I think at this moment we need to be concentrating on ways to retain our police officers. We have the best police department in the state and are losing these exceptionally trained officers to other municipalities which have better compensation."
