Please list the top three issues in Sedalia and your stances on those issues:
1. Water and Sewer: as a current member of the council I work with the other members to continue to find ways to fund our water and sewer project in hopes of one day soon getting city water and sewer for the town members who want it.
2. Growth: I work with the planning board on the town comphrensive growth plan and making sure that Sedalia grows as we want it to grow forward but not out of control.
