Rezoning

Ballwin does not need more apartments and I will reopen and investigate the approval by Aldermen of the new apartment development of Parc Place across from Vlasis Park in Ballwin. (Ballwin approved zoning changes to allow a 7-story, 196-unit apartment building off Manchester Road and 2,090 sq ft commercial).   

The will of the people was ignored and we need to find out why. I will not vote to approve any rezoning that has the potential to change the character and negatively affect the quality of properties in Ballwin.

• I will ensure Ballwin police cooperation with ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations’ (ERO) mission to identify, arrest and remove aliens who present a danger to national security or are a risk to public safety. 
•  I will seek participation of the Ballwin PD in the ICE 287(g) program. 
• I will establish a drone search and rescue unit within the Ballwin police department and seek state and federal funding for the initiative.
• I will support the police department, and I will ensure that our officers have everything they need to perform their job safely while protecting our community. 

I will seek to institute term limits of elected officials in Ballwin that mirrors the eight-year term of Missouri State elected officials. This will bring in new candidates with fresh ideas and reinvigorate our local government.

Economic growth is necessary to keep Ballwin thriving. Attracting new businesses and assisting current businesses is important. I will ensure there are incentives to attract new businesses and that government regulations are not a burden to small business owners.  

Ensure there is continual and adequate infrastructure investment in the critical areas of streets, sidewalks, and lighting.

I will eliminate wasteful spending and deliver an efficient and affordable local government. 

I will increase government transparency through virtual alderman meetings and online community forums.
