Fairview faces several unique challenges that will have a major impact on the quality of life for our citizens. I am commited to work to resolve all of them.

The first of these is the issue of a proposed gambling casino in Wood Village. It would be the first privately owned casino in the state and would literaly be across the street from one of our family neighborhoods. I am resolute in my opposition to the placement of that casino there. The destruction to the quality of life in Fairview would be irreparable.

Some of the other issues that I continue to work relentlessly are the placement of a new and complete signal sysem at 223rd and Sandy, with left turn lights and lanes. And, the replacement of the railroad underpass on 223rd next to I-84. This is scheduled to take place this winter, but need final approval from Union Pacific Railroad to allow this to take place
