■ DON RBD WORKS FOR EVERYONE • MWBD Progam - As Chairman of the Public Services Committee, I pushed through an MWBD program that increased minority participation in city con tracts by 50%, and is today recognized as the best in the U.S. ‘ Police Review Board - As Chairman of the Public Safety committee, I expedited the formation and council approval of a Civilian Police Review Board. ' Community-Based Policing - I led the fight to get more community based police officers in high crime neighborhoods. > Neighborhood Improvements - I pushed for improvements in inner city side walks, street lights, street repair, and stormwater facilities. > Neighborhood Concerns - I meet with various neighborhood groups to hear their concerns and suggestions for improving their neighborhoods. ’ Charlotte Housing Authority - I brought pressure on the CHA to solve the roach problem in Public Housing. ' Airport Expansion - I advocate an ombudsman be appointed to serve West Side citizens and work with the city planning consultant to address their concerns. I believe the West Side has been somewhat left out as we have rebuilt Charlotte. As a child, I labored in the tobacco fields, and I know what it’s like to work two jobs to put food on the table. I identify with the people on Charlotte’s West Side, and realize the vast majority of its residents are law-abiding citizens. They deserve the same treatment as those in more affluent areas of the city, and I’m dedicated to ensuring that happens. Hundreds of working families, senior citizens and sin gle parents cannot afford higher taxes, and they can trust me to safeguard their interests on the west side.
