Hi,

After a lot of thought, and discussion, my wife and I endorse Dave Rogers for City Council from Ward 2. We feel that Jane Knodell has worked hard both the City and Ward 2 have benefited from her labor . However, it is time for a change. Dave Rogers offers new ideas and energy. At a time when the colleges and University are dumping vast numbers of students on the City's already limited housing, something has to be done to create affordable housing for both working families and students. There is no reason both the University and colleges can't build adequate housing for their students. There is no reason there shouldn't be an impact fee on these institutions for every student living off campus.

David Rogers hs many good ideas for improving the City and making it more affordable for everyone. His ideas for school improvement, the waterfront, and housing are innovative and are a refreshing change. The fact that he is a working person with a young family offers a sensitivity and awareness that is distinctive and will offer new perspective for our ward.

With Dave Rogers as a candidate for Ward 2, it raises the level of discussion, and challenges the incumbent, as well as City Council members who are not running, to take a fresh look at things.
