PERSONAL STATEMENT: I believe that there has to be transparency in the actions of elected officials. It appears that once elected they work to their own agenda and not to the needs of those who elected them. It's time that all elected officials, directors of municiple departments and chairs of boards, commissions and committees are accountable for their actions. The taxpayer needs full visibility as to how their money is spent.
