* Carolina North developed with Town interests at heart, such
as demonstrating a commitment to the air/environment with significant
reduction in parking and automobile emphasis, demonstrating fiscal equity
with the Town, and permanent land conservation ;
* Improvement of Downtown
Chapel Hill with emphasis on providing 4 more police officers downtown;
attract business downtown other than restaurant/T-shirt shops (like Children’s
Museum, boutiques, clothes, art galleries, another bookstore, interesting
food shoppes, etc.) ; shared parking arrangements to increase available
parking; wireless internet beginning downtown yet for spreading to all
of Chapel Hill; improve lighting yet retain ambience; improve sidewalks
and planters, etc.
* Affordable housing—continue work on inclusionary
zoning with new Town committee; continue to work with developers, nonprofits
and financial institutions on providing such housing; look at Town’s
Comprehensive Plan’s areas of development opportunity and factor
affordable housing into future plans for these areas.

My first campaign finance report showed: Contributions: $3247.00 My
operating expense (or spending) was $1219.88, of which half of money
was for signs, roughly. So I had a total of $2109.12 at the end of the
first reporting period. Today, (Oct. 22) I have an account showing $2513.12
available. I’m not actively fundraising at this point. My concentration
is on getting people to vote.
