Letter: Walsh values transparency and input from all

I am writing this letter to encourage Davis District 2 voters to vote for Colin Walsh for City Council.

Colin is a longtime Davisite with a deep concern for the quality of life we have in Davis. He grew up in Davis, attended Davis schools from West Davis Elementary through UCD and now his children attend Davis schools. He has impressed me over and over again with his knowledge of local issues and current events. He takes time to study the details, analyzes all aspects and encourages others to join in the civic process.

I have been disappointed with our current city council and decisions that have been made with little or no time to allow the public to learn of the plans or weigh in on decisions. Colin recognizes the importance of transparency in governing and values input from all.

Colin has become extremely knowledgeable about development projects including the DISC and has asked probing questions of our council and identified areas that require further review or clarification. Colin is an advocate for the environment, the preservation of open space and has a deep conviction about the importance of farmland. You can learn about Colin through his walsh4davis.com website, I strongly recommend a vote for Colin for City Council.
