- Under My Leadership as Mayor
 - 
My record demonstrates achievements in quality of life, environment, charter and personnel policy reform, commercial development, housing, neighborhood wellness, homeless services,and infrastructure improvement, including the Downtown.
 - Budget Expertise
 - 
As Mayor I have led the city through the worst recession since the great depression and placed us firmly on the path toward financial sustainability.  Our budget is balanced with no cuts and a 20% reserve.  We have successfully negotiated a 6.8% compensation reduction with all five unions, which saves $3.1 million a year.  Some people fear that the city is in dire financial straits, but this is simply not the case.
