The candidate's website says, "The Town Manager was granted a half page editorial in the Sonoran News, where he reported what positive things residents said about the Morning Star Trail project at a Council meeting. If the playing field were fair, then a representative or representatives of neighborhoods opposing the Morning Star Trail should have been given equal space for an editorial to explain their point of view. This was an unethical use of power by the current administration. I will work with residents and neighborhoods to effectively resolve conflicts before this kind of escalation occurs."

The candidate's website says, "Cave Creek recently updated its Town Core Plan. This plan includes extensive language committing the Council and Town Hall to market our Town to be a regional tourist center. These are four quotes from the Plan. “Marketing the Town Core as a regional tourist destination”, “Position the Town as a regional tourist destination center” and “Development of a multi-use plaza located in the heart of the Town Core.” The plan additionally states that the Plaza will accommodate “a variety of public gathering and seasonal events year-around.”"

The candidate's website says, "A current example of a conflict between residents and the Town Administration is the Morning Star Trail project. A petition has been circulated against this Trail.

A committee will be appointed to review the project and put it on a future agenda."

Part of the range is owned by the County and part by State Land. A large part of the land surrounding the Seven Sisters is privately owned and subject to development within the limits of zoning codes.
