Parishioner, St. Maryâs Catholic Church What are the most important issues facing the office you are seeking?Having been on both the planning commission and council has given me knowledge of the issues affecting Carroll Valley. I have gained invaluable insights into matters such as zoning, budgets, concerns of residents, law enforcement, and similar subjects. What I have brought to the commission and council from the experiences listed above is to listen to the views of others; to consider the pros and cons on the issues presented and .to reach a conclusion most beneficial to all residents of Carroll Valley. Indeed, I have voted in the minority if I did not believe so.
