A vital skill for any community representative is the ability to disagree agreeably. It's important to be able to work with people who we disagree with and sometimes might not even like much. We are a community together. Just lately I've had cause to think that we've all been a bit too quick to snap out a sharp comment. Perhaps a moment's thoughtful reflection would be more useful. The way we express ourselves helps us build trust and respect for each other.
I'm standing for election in the Melville Ward of Palmyra/ Melville/ Willagee. When elected to Council I promise to listen to all sides of community issues. I promise to hold an open meeting every month to listen to you.
