Why am I running: I am candidate for the Ken-Caryl Ranch Metropolitan Board of Directors because I want to contribute my experience to my community. During my 24-year career in the restaurnt industry in senior management of large companies, I gained a vast amount of experience in proper budgeting and operating the companies to deliver the best to our customers and employees. I can do the same for Ken-Caryl Ranch. I feel we need a fresh approach to the fiscal responsibilities of our community. We need to establish a realistic budget to maintain our high quality of life, maintain our property properly, continue our many amenities without user fees, and reestablish our reserve fund which has been spent down to nothing. In spite of what we hear about TABOR, we have significantly more tax dollars for 2008 then we did in 2007. We just need to spend these dollars properly. I can do that.
